I loved this film and can't understand why it has such a low rating. The story develops beautifully from start to finish, with plenty of twists and turns, a lovely sense of humor, and a great cast delivering fantastic performances. What I like most is the balance: neither the actors nor the script become overly dramatic, despite the characters' significant pain. The humor is perfectly balanced as well-any more or less, and it wouldn't work. Well done. It seems like audiences are getting less discerning by the day. If you don't understand what you're watching, please refrain from rating it. I strongly recommend this unconventionally sweet movie.
Longing is an English reboot directed, written and partly produced by Savi Gabizon, who released a similar French Hebrew version called Ga'agua in 2017.
Businessman Daniel Bloch (Richard Gere) lives a rich life and never wanted children. When he learns from an old girlfriend that they had a son, but he has died, Daniel decides to immerse himself in the old life of his unknown, surviving son. In this way he learns about his life choices and is confronted with the mistakes he has made. He tries to correct these, so that he can leave him with dignity.
Despite the fact that this is a reboot of an earlier, similar film, you would expect the writer-director to have worked it out a bit more. However, there are logical details missing, which makes the film seem vague, far-fetched, or sometimes unintentionally comical instead of truly dramatic or emotional.
Because the father tries to live the life of his surviving son, many moments come to the fore in the film. Because you as a viewer have not really experienced this son, this revival seems rather long-winded than really emotional. Many scenes also go on for too long or have unnecessary, short scenes between the events.
Due to the lack of good direction and writing direction, the cast members also seem somewhat uncertain and unclear, which means you do not really care about their characters. The strange choices they make only make this more difficult.

Fiction, whether a book or a film, always requires a willing suspension of disbelief. After all, it's entertainment: you know life and events rarely move forward the way the author presents them, but it's enjoyable to imagine the 'what if?'.
Richard Gere brings his A-game to everything he does. For the first half of the movie, I believe him, and I can see his character's journey. But then, things no longer make sense.
Why does everyone talk and act as if the deceased son was still alive? Why do the supporting characters go along with the craziness? Why does the movie suddenly drop the connection to Daniel's business in New York?
Are all the events of the movie supposed to happen within a week? If so, how could the final scene be even possible?
I like how the movie slowly unfolds and paints a realistic picture of the deceased son with a rich but flawed personality. If the movie focused on how Daniel reassesses his own life based on the life of a son he never knew he had until the week before, I think this would have been a fine movie. But the film adds one implausibility to another and another, until I can no longer suspend my disbelief.

I gave a little hope to this movie because of the casting and a breif storyline introduced. However, at the end, I could not understand why the people involved in productionbwould think the story is fine and really made it happen. What a disappointed movie which absolutely wastes my time and triggered my anger after that.
A father who never knew his son before made a series of stuipd and silly things but everyone around him also did the same. I could not see any love from this movie but just non sense actions and decisions made.
If anyone finds difficult in sleeping, this movie may help you.

I saw the previous review and thought, well, it can't be that bad. But, it was. It started out pretty good and then before long devolved into bizarre then insanity. Just strange. I kept thinking that there would be some twist that I didn't see coming and that then I would understand all of the bizarre behavior and acting. That never happened. It just got worse and worse. Even at the end I though that something would happen, but it didn't. Overall I think the acting was fine, but the story was just not very good. The movie left me feeling really nothing, except that I wasted a bunch of time. Don't bother with this movie.
