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.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Oct 7
A sinewy, stylish thriller improved by the bruised, understated work of Moore and Gleeson’s enjoyably gung-ho villainy. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Aug 18
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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] Go to Full Review

Samantha M. @Samantharen Dec 12 Ignore all negative reviews. I literally made this account in order to say - this movie was beautiful. Riveting. Twists when you least expect them. The chemistry between all actors was perfect. Every role done perfectly. Loved loved loved it. See more Anthony H. @Hardy Dec 10 The mistakes this movie made overshadowed its positive aspects. While I found some enjoyment in the good parts, the bad ones were truly awful. The film employed the trope of making the worst mistakes nobody would truly make. However, it takes a surprising turn in the final 10-15 minutes with a mind-bending twist that you wouldn’t expect. It’s an enjoyable watch, but it does have its slow and drawn-out moments. See more Juan A Nov 26 When. It come to drug problem movies, is hard nominates what category belong? Echo Valley is not my first, actually Dicaprio Basketball Diary was the most mature n depressing, but will give credit cause of the cast that make it work. Julianne Moore is always stunning in every role she is in, n well here nail, like her motherly role that she will do anything to keep her druggy daughter out harm way. Even hiding a body, but the twist shock me, term of betrayal is something didn’t expect, n how she handle it. Bro this is surprise I didn’t expect it? Sydney Sweeney is up coming star that really her portrayal as the druggy daughter was trope seen before, the desperation, fooling ye parents, of course my fav asking for cash to pay her dealer. Talking of him Domhnall Gleeson really menacing as the dealer, taking more advantage of the mother than the daughter. Seriously taking scam route, to ve the money, n how Julianne pull it off was pretty genius, n sacrificial. So conclude it felt more Hallmark movie of the week, with Hitchcock tone, the cast fall short, but the twist at the end make justice. The ending g is something I don’t discuss caught what ever reason, mother will always love her daughter. See more Jennifer C. @JennieCram Nov 12 This movie made me feel icky. See more Vince Q. @Vincedeq Nov 6 Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney team up in this mini thriller with a twist. Unfortunately for you, the twist was written in Morse Code, so you kinda know the ending in the middle. I’m a fan of Moore and Sweeney keeps up, both deliver ming performances that are worth the watch! See more Steve G Nov 4 Not sure about the 5 star reviews. They must have missed the obvious flaws. Mom asked very important questions, so she was smart. Why not ask how it ended up in the car from the woods, AND wrapped? And why inject mom at all? He pulled it out while she was still sitting and talking. Then he let her roam free after?? Why would he stay outside the house and not where he could watch her? All to make the story work, but illogical. See more Read all reviews
