Longing Reviews
wow. such a great script, such a great thriller. perfect acting, charismatic actors .. just a delight. haven't seen anything like it . went from laughing to crying to laughing again. so much conflict , so much sanity ! praise God!
I almost can’t believe this dramatic movie starring Richard Gere was made. Great start, terrible middle and the ending was almost comical. The start of the movie: In a nutshell Richard's character recently discovers he has a son from an ex girlfriend he last saw twenty years ago. They never met as news of the boy’s existence is learned after the son dies in a car accident. End of the movie: A wedding is held between his dead teenage son and a dead teenage woman who never knew one other while alive. The parents of the deceased think a wedding is appropriate because they share the same values at a graveyard. The movie is so bad I can’t believe a film studio would finance such rubbish after reading this garbage script.
Longing for a little respect; waste of time!
Dumb, boring, a complete waste of time
Absolutely ridiculous, don't waste your time bizarre is an understatement.
The acting by some is acceptable and in fact I think it is one of Gere’s better performances but the plot line is weak and disappointing. Diane Kruger never disappoints and she is an asset although unable to save the film.
Ridiculous!!! Save your time and money!! I can’t believe Richard Gere ever wanted to be associated with this film!!! Crazy time!!
Dumb AF Read the reviews to my husband, but he still wanted to go for it. This is just such a fiasco of a movie. Just turned it off- I have no idea where it was going and can only assume the ending would be a total letdown. Even though it’s only 5.99 or 6.99 whatever don’t do it! If you want to watch a Richard Gere movie… Rewatch Hachi! This is dumb dumb dumb 🙄
My eyes were bleeding.
Terrible story, the 2nd half is embarrassing. Richard Gere, seriously? You must have needed a paycheck.
Don't waste your time. Terrible
I'll never get this time back. I would have felt more satisfaction and a greater sense of accomplishment kicking my little toe on the corner of the bed or dancing shoeless on Legos. The ending....wtf?
This movie was absolutely horrible. I wish I could give it negative stars. It was so slow, it didn’t flow well, and there were crude parts that made the experience completely non-family friendly on top of it all. Like why is there a random reference in the middle of nowhere to female anatomy?? It felt completely like a low budget, B movie that some high school kids made to show a drama film.
I wanted to like this film but it was pretty awful. The premise is ridiculous. Richard Gere's old flame tells him she had child with him and he's dead. No spoiler there. So he starts to find out things about his deceased son. He was a great Pianist and he had a crush on teacher and kept Diary about her. He graffitied a building with foul "POEM" oh and he has a club foot and was dealing WEED. Gere goes to Cemetery so many times I figured he had Frequent Flyer Miles for visiting the dead. Diane Kruger phones in her performance and the best thing about movie is how clean Canadian streets are. And it's a REMAKE! Oy!
I wanted to like it but it just didn’t come together completely. Sad to say, I think it was Gere that was responsible for that. His performance was uneven and lacked depth as incredulous events unfolded around him. He was flat and was the least interesting character. Alec Baldwin would have been a great choice.
Unusual, and powerful for anyone who has experienced significant grief in their life. A complicated character and brilliant performance by Richard Gere.
