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.

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]

Very poor plot and average performance of the cast. Looks like a juicy contract with no heart and soul into it . Went till the end for my high esteem of Julian Moore. Will not get caught twice

I dont recommend it. The plot is clever and well made. But the tolerance regarding the main character about her daughter is completely disappointing. Never again…

I guess I buck the review trend on this film. I thought the storytelling and direction was well done and the performances of from Moore Sweeney and Hall to be memorable. The film does have some portholes in the third act, which does impede the overall production. Still, better than an expected and generally a notch above most I see.
