‘Echo Valley’ Review: Julianne Moore And Sydney Sweeney Are Dynamite In Nail-Biting, Riveting Thriller


A review of 'Echo Valley' , a thriller set in farming country with Julianne Moore trying to rescue daughter Sydney Sweeney from addiction and trouble

Moore, in fine form, plays Kate, divorced and now estranged from her ex-husband Richard (Kyle MacLachlan in all too briefly) and grieving the loss of her wife, also has to deal with an on and off relationship with volatile daughter Claire (Sydney Sweeney) who is running with the wrong crowd and hopelessly addicted to drugs. Echo Valley is the perfect match for someone of Moore’s prodigious talents, a role requiring physicality, strong emotions, and belief this is a woman with more than one trick up her sleeve to survive and keep what is left of her family together. Into all this comes Jackie Lyman, and I had no idea it was Domhnall Gleeson who totally transforms into this creepy little small time monster who terrorizes Claire, and then most memorably Kate (there are shades of Max Cady from Cape Fear here).
