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.

San Francisco Chronicle

Sweeney has something special, and “Echo Valley” is a positive sign that, whatever Sweeney has, she’s not coasting on it.

Rated: 3/4

Echo Valley is a serviceable thriller with an outlandish twist at the end, but the plot often seems at war with what feels like the movie’s true interest: Kate, a woman poleaxed by love.

The Nightly (AU)

An overwrought, frustrating and flat melodrama that you’ll struggle to complete.

Rated: 2/5

Lazy critics sometimes like to rave “A great time at the movies!” No one will say this about “Echo Valley.” It’s a bad time, and not worth it.

Rated: C-

Juoianne Moore never gives a bad performance. She continues that streak here.

Echo Valley is successful so long as the viewer remains on the pulpy surface of its premise.

This movie was contrived and sloppy. I was honestly shocked at how badly it was written and directed.

The writer for Echo Valley Brad Inglesby really blew it on this one! The movie is really bad; the writing is absolutely atrocious it seemed like the writer just threw anything he could at the wall to see if anything would stick. This is a really bad movie.....I would take a hard pass on this one!

Echo Valley said it was a thriller, but the story felt empty and didn’t go anywhere. The actors did what they could, but it didn’t matter much because the plot just got kind of silly.

By no way shape or form is this a thriller. This is a terrible example of writing and story telling. Drug addict daughter screws over loving mother. Drug dealer try’s to screw over loving mother. Mother wins in the end. Terrible story. Terrible acting. Just all around an awful movie. My wife and I both said what a dumb movie when it was over. Do not wast your time. Gave it 1.5 stars (because I don’t read 1 star reviews) so maybe someone would read this and save themselves

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

First of all. Minus points for normalizing horse abuse. 2. Minus points for making fun of vegan roast. Seriously? Then there’s the outrageous and unreal story! Deep impact or ET was more credible than this story! A total waste of time 🍿/5 on Apple TV+
