This drama about love, loss, and self-discovery distills the complexity of grief. Longing (a remake of director Savi Gabizon's own 2017 Israeli film) is entertainment art wrapped inside of a deep, personal grief journey. And it's an emotional roller coaster ride that has tears and darkness along with dreams and hope. Gere's tenacious, earnest performance is gripping and may prompt some viewers to reevaluate their own life choices.
