G. Allen Johnson San Francisco Chronicle 06/14/2018
2/4
A film that, at best, seems like one of those cliched life-lesson movies on the Lifetime channel. Go to Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times 06/07/2018
As an awareness tool, "The Valley" feels simple-minded. As a drama, it feels exploitative. Go to Full Review Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times 06/06/2018
Tackling teen suicide in a film requires a deft touch, but "The Valley" approaches the weighty topic with a heavy, sluggish hand. Go to Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews 06/10/2018
3/4
With solid performances and a sensitive screenplay, The Valley offers a window overlooking a heartbreakingly common situation whose signs and symptoms remain elusive. Go to Full Review Tara McNamara Common Sense Media 06/08/2018
3/5
Teen suicide drama aims for parental prevention. Go to Full Review Richard von Busack MetroActive 06/07/2018
The Valley gets at the angst of high tech with an almost burning acuteness, with the constant work and the price of it as alienation at home. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Rachel O 10/22/2023 An accurate description of what someone goes through when they lose someone to suicide. Searching for answers, grief, blaming others, anger, and rage. If you're looking for what it really feels like to lose someone this way, this is it. See more bradale j 12/02/2020 I absolutely LOVED this movie. The only thing that wish the director had done was to give a backstory on the protagonist. It's NOT ANOTHER ZOMBIE MOVIE, but a movie that really just concentrates on SURVIVAL on a mundane level. The main character could have been any one of us. The ending was unexpected. You'll have to watch it to see what I mean. See more 06/08/2020 I was lucky to find this "under the radar" superb film with its realistic storytelling and relatable characters. Engaging from start to finish, I cared about these people. See more 04/27/2020 A very depressing subject, but a positive story nonetheless. We don't get as many movies like this anymore and it's great to have something like this come along. See more 12/27/2018 Slow, boring with an anticlimactic ending. See more 06/15/2018 A film that sparks conversation about the cultural nuances in the south Asian community. A must see for parents who want to have deeper conversations with their children about the topic of suicide which is becoming more prevalent. See more Read all reviews
