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.

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 Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) An overwrought, frustrating and flat melodrama that you’ll struggle to complete. Rated: 2/5 Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Matt Pais MattPais.com Lazy critics sometimes like to rave “A great time at the movies!” No one will say this about “Echo Valley.” It’s a bad time, and not worth it. Rated: C- Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com Juoianne Moore never gives a bad performance. She continues that streak here. Rated: 6/10 Jul 13, 2025 Full Review Chris Cassingham In Review Online Echo Valley is successful so long as the viewer remains on the pulpy surface of its premise.

Kleber d Até onde uma mãe é capaz de ir por sua filha? Até onde uma filha pode transformar a vida de sua mãe em um inferno? O filme explora essas duas questões com uma narrativa que choca, alivia, irrita e emociona. Julianne Moore entrega uma atuação brilhante, transmitindo profundidade e vulnerabilidade, enquanto Sydney Sweeney acompanha com igual intensidade. A direção é um destaque, com momentos memoráveis como a cena em que o som da chuva é abafado, conectando o público à introspecção de Kate — um toque impecável. O equilíbrio entre suspense e drama mantém o espectador preso, e é difícil se cansar durante a exibição. Aviso de spoiler: A reviravolta final é surpreendente e impactante, capaz de arrancar um leve salto da cadeira. No entanto, o enredo falha ao não oferecer uma superação clara para Kate. Sua jornada parece não resultar em aprendizado sobre como lidar com sua perda ou com a relação com a filha, deixando um desfecho que pode parecer abrupto ou até injusto para alguns. No geral, é uma história cativante, que desperta uma montanha-russa de emoções, boas e ruins. As atuações excepcionais e a direção criativa se destacam, mas as falhas no enredo deixam uma sensação agridoce, como se faltasse um desfecho mais satisfatório ou um arco de aprendizado mais consistente. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/18/25 Full Review Sean G The 2 main characters are well acted. But completely unlikeable. The mother is a pathetic, spineless, useless parent who is in a horrible abusive relationship with her manipulative, drug addict dealing daughter. The writers call it "unconditional love". Educated people know it's toxic enabling. The daughter causes the death of "the wife", and spikes drugs with fentanyl killing a young man. Loser mom crawls back to husband who knows his money goes directly into the drugs and daughter. Mum predictably caves, again. Daughter says sorry. Again. All forgiven. Again. Only a bad parent of drug addict will willing be brainwashed into thinking they are are doing good. Expecting different results. The world is worse having this movie/message in it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Alfredo F Echo valley tries to be a drama and thriller and fail in all of them. Is not horrible, but dont worth the time Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Marius G Good performance from Julianne Moore, nice plot with a smart twist at the end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Dana K Another “Lifetime Movie for Women” type of movie, bland, fairly predictable, acting was good, just above TV movie-ish..ok…but if I’d known it was this type of movie I would not have watched it… Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Joshwa W. The twists here undermine the premise in such a way that I was left feeling a bit disappointed — I’m not sure that what gets confronted by the protagonist is what the protagonist needs to have confronted by the story’s end. The performances are great. Unexpectedly, this is not a shallow Sydney Sweeney vehicle. Sad to say, but I found that bit refreshing. At the end of the day, it’s coherently slow, yet asymmetrical in what it seems to want to say with its various, interrelated conflicts that just don’t boil down to anything strong enough to be worthy of being made. Sometimes, even when things are well shot, well acted, well directed, and well edited together, I wonder if streaming killed the idea of meaning altogether.
