‘Echo Valley’ Review: Killer Duo Julianne Moore and Syndey Sweeney Test the Limits of a Mother’s Unconditional Love
Julianne Moore is a better actor than the material deserves in 'Echo Valley,' an old-school psychological thriller from director Michael Pearce.
Written by “Mare of Easttown” creator Brad Ingelsby, the movie poses a series of compellingly relatable moral questions, starting with: What would you do if your adult daughter were trapped in a whirlpool of self-destructive behavior? In a one-scene cameo, Kyle MacLachlan represents the tough-love alternative as Kate’s exasperated ex-husband, who’s ready to throw in the towel, but agrees to write one last check — well aware his daughter will find some way to waste it. Both give their stars some actual psychology to explore, playing mothers who pay to protect their kids — even if “Echo Valley” stops making logical sense when Gleeson’s character returns looking to extort more money from Kate.
