This family mystery thriller, featuring Sydney Sweeney and Julianne Moore, has ascended into the app’s Top 10 movies list, currently occupying the #4 position. Such popularity is occurring despite lukewarm criticism since its June debut — particularly, the film is maintaining a 52% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes (from 89 reviews) and a nearly identical 51% audience score from over 250 ratings. The official Rotten Tomatoes critics’ consensus succinctly encapsulates the dual nature of this Apple original:

“Julianne Moore’s dedicated performance and the relatable concept of how far a parent is willing to go for their child provide ‘Echo Valley’ with some noteworthy moments, but tedious storytelling pushes it back down to commonplace levels.” In simpler terms: Even if the narrative isn’t resonating with everyone, it appears that audiences are still tuning in for the unique combination of one of Hollywood’s hottest up-and-coming talents and an accomplished Oscar winner.
