In the thriller 'Echo Valley', Claire, played by Sydney Sweeney, disrupts her idyllic life with her mother Kate, portrayed by Julianne Moore. The film delves deep into their tumultuous relationship, exacerbated by Claire's reckless choices involving drugs and a troubled boyfriend. As Kate grapples with her crushing grief after losing her wife, the story unfolds in the lush Pennsylvania countryside, revealing the stark contrasts between their lives and ambitions. Ultimately, the narrative intertwines themes of love, loss, and the unpredictable nature of familial bonds, culminating in an unexpected ending that challenges conventional thriller tropes.
Claire could be living the cottagecore dream...but no: She has to hook up with a skanky dude and start doing drugs, opening herself and her mother to a world of hurt.
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.
