Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Longing, director Savi Gabizon's English-language debut, starts relatively well before slowly losing its way. With Richard Gere in the role of aged businessman Daniel Bloch, who learns from his ex-lover that he has a 19-year-old son named Allen, he’s alarmed and quickly tries to call a lawyer before he finds out the boy died before they ever had a chance to meet.
With these disparate hints at Allen’s complex existence, Daniel feels a fatherly connection and kinship. Daniel then starts planning a wedding for these two deceased young people he never met, and this is the moment Longing truly falls apart. Daniel’s deranged wedding plans could have been a thematic springboard to address the sometimes unreasonable whims of those deep in grief, but Longing never really digs into this part of its storyline. Instead, after some brief questioning from other characters like Allen’s mother, stepfather, and the young girl’s grieving parents, they go along with his perplexing plan to honor his son’s legacy.
