What to Know

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.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 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. Rated: 3/5 Aug 18, 2025 Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle Sweeney has something special, and “Echo Valley” is a positive sign that, whatever Sweeney has, she’s not coasting on it. Rated: 3/4 Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Laura Miller Slate Echo Valley is a serviceable thriller with an outlandish twist at the end, but the plot often seems at war with what feels like the movie’s true interest: Kate, a woman poleaxed by love. Jun 23, 2025 Full Review John Stark Mac the Movie Guy 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. Rated: 70/100 Aug 24, 2025 Full Review Marta Medina mundoCine 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] Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror ...a new thriller starring Julianne Moore as a woman in a bad situation that keeps getting worse. Both in emotional, moral, and criminal ways. Rated: 4/5 Aug 11, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Movie T. This one felt like a swing with plenty of ups and downs. The film started off slow, found some rhythm in the middle with a few solid moments and peaks, but ultimately failed to close strong. While the plot twists and unexpected turns kept things interesting, the ending just wasn’t powerful enough to elevate the movie into something truly memorable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/08/25 Full Review Nick A This movie was great, so I don't quite understand all the negativity—the bad reviews feel overblown... That aside, this film kept me hooked and never dragged like I expected. The actresses delivered standout performances, and the plot kept me guessing until the very end. It balanced drama and suspense in a way that kept me invested, always speculating about what was really going on. The characters and story pulled me in, it was gripping without being overcomplicated. I definitely recommended it to anyone in the mood for a strong drama/suspense film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Tom F Another twisty thriller that must have looked good on paper, but even with excellent actors (especially Fiona Shaw in a smallish role) doing their best it doesn’t hold up. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Lisa S. I really enjoyed it! Great farm, good story and some twists! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Michael Z Die Geschichte mag ganz ok sein. Allerdings ist das Umfeld zu politisch korrekt. Mama Lesbe trifft Ex-Lesbe, Ex-Lesbe ist nun zusammen mit PoC-Lesbe. Die einzigen Heteros sind die Tochter und ihr Freund und die Bösewichte alles weiße CIS-Männer. Das war zu auffällig. Deshalb habe ich den Film nicht mehr zu Ende geschaut. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review Helen C Edge of My Seat From Start to Finish – So Underrated I honestly don’t understand why this film has such poor reviews. It’s the first movie in a long time that had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. As a daughter, I deeply resonated with the mother–daughter dynamic- it was heartbreaking.. and tense to watch at times, but also incredibly empowering. Julianne Moore is exceptional here. She brings a natural grace to the role and isn’t afraid to fully embody a mother in her 50s both in appearance and in emotion. Her performance is filled with raw expression and quiet strength. I highly recommend this film. Please don’t be put off by the negative reviews- especially if you’re a daughter who’s had ups and downs with your mum or vice versa. This film is massively underrated and deserves far more recognition. Baffled by the reviews... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
