Julianne Moore is a better actor than the material deserves in 'Echo Valley,' an old-school psychological thriller from director Michael Pearce.

Pair stars like Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney, add BAFTA-winning director Michael Pearce and a top screenwriter of, among others, the Emmy-winning Mare of Easttown in Brad Ingelsby and major producers including Ridley Scott and it is not a surprise that they have collectively cooked up one barnburner of a thriller.

Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney play mother and daughter in Echo Valley, a would-be thriller that feels like a brainless beach read.
