Looking for an Echo is full of satisfying moments, yet it's not an altogether satisfying movie.

There's a touching sadness to the film, and it reverberates in the splendid, effortless performances.

The tale of a former doo-wop singer and his friends, is a very appealing mix of pop music, romance, and family drama.
