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.

Oct 7

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

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.

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.

A whiff of Hitchcock lingers around Echo Valley...

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.

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]

A well acted movie where a struggling mother has to deal with her drug addicted daughter and the body she brings home to an already chaotic time.......I hate the daughter with a passion.

After how the daughter treated the mom with the dog, I had to stop. After that, how can a mom even continue to help her? The trailer is showing she kills her bf and her mom helps….after that? No. I’m done, couldn’t even finish it.

Boring and listless family drama weighted down by shrill histrionics and cliched plot turns. Abrupt changes in mood and tone further the difficult watch. Pass this one by.

Boring. Struggled to stay awake and engaged. Couldn’t even tell you a single characters name from the movie.
