In what seems like an odd choice for an English-language remake, helmer-writer Savi Gabizon transfers the action of his least successful Israeli drama, “Longing” (2017), to Canada. Alas, the story of a confirmed bachelor who learns that he fathered a son 19 years earlier fails to translate by striking far too many duff notes. Richard Gere struggles as the unlikable protagonist, whose attempts to learn more about the lad come off as creepy rather than poignant. After a limited theatrical release, the Lionsgate release will segue to digital and on-demand on June 28.

Gere plays busy New York businessman Daniel who is thrown for a loop when former girlfriend Rachel (Suzanne Clément) turns up with some big news. Not only did she return to Canada pregnant with his child, but the boy, Allen, recently died in a car accident. In spite of never wanting children, Daniel flies to Ontario for Allen’s memorial service,...

Untangling a web of lies and trying to learn more about his deceased son, Richard Geres Daniel sits down with his childs best friend, Mikey (Wayne Burns) in an exclusive to Collider sneak peek for Longing. Not certain what to ask, the pressure is quickly taken off Daniels shoulders as Mikey divulges information about the son that Daniel never met. Surprised to find out that Allen (Tomaso Sanelli) was a gifted pianist, a smile comes over Daniels face with every new fact that Mikey tosses his way. Above all else, Daniel is happy to know that, according to Mikey, Allen would have been delighted to meet the father he never knew.
