Echo Valley

5/10 okay, the mother was not helping matter just making the problem bigger and the daughter took advantage of her mothers weakness which turned into “an ever increasing circle”. Annoying.

6/10 Pay attention because it’s a story driven movie with small details

A decently streamable film with excellent acting and a strong premise. Loved the story and the twists that came with it. Some of it seems a bit implausible but overall I found it to be an intriguing watch.

6.5

Rating: 5.7/10

A tense thriller with strong performances, but weighed down by a bleak worldview.

Highlights
- Suspenseful Story: Keeps you guessing with a primal mother-child tension.
- Great Acting: Julianne Moore shines as a desperate mother; Domhnall Gleeson is menacing.
- Moody Atmosphere: Director Michael Pearce creates claustrophobia with Pennsylvania farm setting.

Criticisms
- Moral Ambiguity: Protagonist's illegal actions and lack of consequences may frustrate viewers.
- Bleak Tone: No redemption or justice, just destructive behavior.
- Controversial Themes: May be difficult for some audiences due to portrayal of criminality and same-sex marriage.

Verdict
Echo Valley is a gritty thriller with strong performances, but its hollow moral core and bleak tone may limit its appeal.

7/10 Good movie would recommend the watch. Good twists.

Great plot, found the daughter’s addiction compelling with the drug dealer and the boyfriend all of them working together.
Loved the end where Cate the Mother beat them all at their own game by retrieving the body and planting it in the burning barn
