Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter 04/19/2016
An unimaginative drama that never quite gains momentum. Go to Full Review Katie Walsh The Playlist 04/19/2016

It will be interesting to see what Marsalis can do with a more developed story and perhaps even darker material, because it's clear she has a way with both actors and the camera. Go to Full Review Ken Jaworowski New York Times 04/15/2016
Catalina Aguilar Mastretta's script is free of speechifying and delivers just enough story line to keep a plot in motion; words are rarely used when expressions can better convey feelings. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 12/14/2019
With the look and feel that captures the independent spirit of filmmaking and Los Angeles, Echo Park lights up the screen with an artsy sun-kissed vibe . Go to Full Review Angela Trott Film Inquiry 12/08/2016
The minimal narrative of Echo Park may not be engaging enough for some, but overall this is a gently poignant film. Go to Full Review Courtney Bissonette Bust Magazine 11/15/2016
Those with an appreciation for photography will find the film particularly enjoyable, as it's easy to see that the director incorporated her background in photography to manifest a visually delightful film as well as an engaging story. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/13/2020 Movie life is worth living when you stumble across a gem without a display cabinet. This is gleaming. See more 09/30/2017 This movie was quite enjoyable I thought. And the main leads best friend is Hispanic so idk what gripe that other reviewer had. If all you saw was race in this movie, you watched it wrong. See more 09/23/2017 Good movie. So glad he didn't turn back. See more 07/01/2016 Okay, it rambles along and goes nowhere, but I actually quite liked this one. Nice performances and very much like real life. It wasn't the ending I hoped for, but it didn't feel contrived either. See more 04/30/2016 s.l.o.w. The acting seems fine, and the direction seems competent. But I don't know how this script got made. See more 04/16/2016 The worst film I've seen in a long time. The only point of contention is whether the writing or the two lead performances is worse. Both are atrocious to the point of wondering if the entire thing is an elaborate practical joke. See more Read all reviews
