Critic Reviews

  • Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com

    Looking for an Echo is full of satisfying moments, yet it's not an altogether satisfying movie.

  • Prairie Miller, WBAI Web Radio

    The a capella interludes are a thrilling journey down musical memory lane, but do not harmonize with the self-pitying narrative weepie..

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

    The tale of a former doo-wop singer and his friends, is a very appealing mix of pop music, romance, and family drama.

  • Harry Haun, Film Journal International

    There's a touching sadness to the film, and it reverberates in the splendid, effortless performances.
