REVIEW SUMMARY
Echo Valley is an effective thriller that blends emotional and narrative tension with strong performances and technical finesse. While it doesn't break the conventions of the genre or explore all of its central themes in depth, it offers enough atmosphere, twists, and intensity to merit attention. Michael Pearce once again proves himself to be a filmmaker attuned to human complexity, even when working within the limits of genre cinema. It may not be a memorable triumph as a whole, but it challenges the boundaries of love and morality through powerful turns by Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney, never losing the entertainment value needed to win over its target audience.
