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)

A sinewy, stylish thriller improved by the bruised, understated work of Moore and Gleeson’s enjoyably gung-ho villainy.

Brent Simon

AV Club

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.

Rated: C-

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

A whiff of Hitchcock lingers around Echo Valley...

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

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]

Daughter character with senseless, despicable attitude where she did not care about the family. Surreal pappening is mother did not involve the police and makes a gamut of bad decisions which is increasingly annoying and surreal.

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.

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

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.
