Echo's surprisingly cockle-warming take makes it a worthy contender for your alternative Christmas classic. Go to Full Review Paul O'Callaghan Slant Magazine 08/21/2019
The film ultimately coheres into a vivid portrait of contemporary Iceland that's equal parts bleak and beguiling. Go to Full Review Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter 08/16/2019
A multipart portrait of contemporary Iceland emerges that feels necessarily somewhat incomplete, given time constraints, but always deeply human. Go to Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies 09/09/2021
4/5

Echo doesn't give its audience straightforward answers, but it doesn't ask straightforward questions. It is, to me, one of the best films of 2020, because of that uncertainty, amorphous meaning, and kaleidoscopic storytelling.

This is straight up a DEI and ESG move yet again from a company that's been destroying its products and credibility to feed the message See more Read all reviews
