Critics Consensus

Julianne Moore's committed turn and the relatable premise of how far a parent will go for their child gives Echo Valley some high peaks, but soporific plotting sends it sloping back down to routine territory.

A sinewy, stylish thriller improved by the bruised, understated work of Moore and Gleeson’s enjoyably gung-ho villainy.

C-

A listless drama that feels like an uninspired adaptation of an already middling piece of beach-read fiction, Echo Valley doesn’t so much tap a vein of mounting tension as just slog along in a weird middle ground, emotionally speaking.

3/5

Helping your child is just another form of debt that must be collected, but the film keeps the leads apart while fraying the plot with twists and double-crosses. The story lacks a visceral edge.

A whiff of Hitchcock lingers around Echo Valley...

70/100

People often throw around the term slow burn whenever a film has pacing issues. It is a signal that the audience needs to be patient in an age where people consume media in shorter and shorter formats, patience is a virtue in limited supply.

Echo Valley is an engaging film built on an intriguing premise. But much like the roof of the house, its script shows cracks. [Full Review in Spanish]

There’s not a tonne of things in Echo Valley you haven’t seen elsewhere, from the central story to the characters and their motivations, the setting or even the twists and turns it takes along the way. Things are elevated by the always excellent Julianne Moore and the occasional appearance by Sydney Sweeney, playing very much against the America’s Sweetheart persona she’s famous for in real life. The scenes later on with villain and heroine in standoff mode get tedious after a while but it does lead to a very satisfying comeuppance, and Domhnall Gleeson makes for a perfectly slimy bad guy. I can’t say it’s especially remarkable, but it’s stabs at family drama and grief hit more often than they miss. Nothing unique, but nothing to sneer at either.

So, I just finished watching Echo valley, and honestly, it turned out to be a delightful surprise. The story felt fresh and full of unexpected turns, which kept me hooked all the way through. Story: Beautiful, new, and packed with surprises — solid 2/2. Plot twists: Cleverly done and well thought out — another 2/2. Acting: Moore and Sweeney nailed it with creative performances — 2/2. Effects: A bit lacking here, so I’d say 1/2. Enjoyment: Super fun and engaging — 2/2.✨ Overall: 9/10 — definitely recommended for everyone. It’s fresh, entertaining, and worth the watch.

A well acted movie where a struggling mother has to deal with her drug addicted daughter and the body she brings home to an already chaotic time.......I hate the daughter with a passion.
