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

PJ M. @pjmadden 1d Insufferable characters, annoying and no paypff. Booooo. See more Avindu G @RT86379654 2d A great crime thriller based on the most enduring bond the human civilization ever known. This tale is an emotional thunderstorm powered by the performances of Sydney and Julianne. Excellent supporting cast. Visuals were scenic and carry a heavy intent on visualizing Kate's multi-frontal battle. No loss, betrayal or heartbreak diminishes Kate's love or focus on redeeming her child. With its surprising and satisfactory conclusion Echo Valley will remain as a memorable thriller with a heavy emotional side. See more Dee S. @DeeHorrorFreak 6d Great film , it demonstrated that unconditional love does have its conditions… & to never underestimate the wisdom of mother. Wanted more on why her daughter chose a life of addiction though… See more Tania M @RT24866915 May 17 I don’t know why the movie has poor reviews it must be because it’s disturbing and leaves a bad taste after watching. How far a mother’s love goes for her rotten daughter might seem implausible but I believe that there are some parents out there that would go as far or even beyond! A good thriller which leaves it mark after watching See more Jesse R @RT37241948 Mar 28 this was entertaining and engaging enough. not sure why it got such bad reviews. A little dark but definitely kept my attention. Great for a weeknight movie. See more Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 Mar 21 Another tale of addiction that gets the family involved. This doesn’t really get interesting until it reaches the point where the viewer doesn’t know what direction is left for it to go, faux resolution an hour early kept it interesting for longer than than it had any business being. Was lacking better resolution with the daughter. See more Read all reviews
