Critic Reviews
-
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail
Halfway home to being a really good little clairvoyant thriller, Donovan's Echo would have benefited greatly from a Stephen King rewrite.
-
Anita Li, Toronto Star
Billed as a "supernatural thriller," Donovan's Echo feels more like an overwrought made-for-TV movie.
-
Steve Newton, Georgia Straight
The indie flick's heart is in the right place but, unfortunately, its arteries are seriously clogged up with syrupy sappiness.
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...a passable short film that's been painfully, needlessly stretched out to feature length.
-
Liz Braun, Jam! Movies
It's technically sound, and features strong performances, but the storytelling is a bit weak.
