ECHO VALLEY MOVIE REVIEW
Kate Garretson (Julianne Moore) tends to all the pretty horses on a ranch for training riders, but her roof is at risk of collapsing. Her life is already in a state of disrepair after the tragic death of her wife. $9000 could fix the roof, but the turmoil in the home of her heart may very well be beyond repair. Lovers lost and bills due wasn’t enough; Kate’s daughter Claire (Sydney Sweeney) is back in town. She’s a daughter in need of her mother’s unconditional love and emotional support. Also she would like a couple thousand dollars. Claire is a recovering junkie who never quite made it to recovery. Her dealer, Jackie (Domhnall Gleeson) demands that she pay what is owed to him by any means necessary or else. What could have been a very run of the mill, paint by numbers thriller turns out to have some pretty unique twists and turns with great lead performances. Bradly, Rae, and Drew discuss the ins and outs of Moore’s fabulous career, the surprisingly effective portrayal of addiction, discuss breeds of horses, and whether they prefer beer or whiskey.

YOUR REVIEWERS

Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.

Lyrae Anderson (Screener Squad)
You can call me Rae. You can also call me a film lover. I’ll watch it all — small screen; big screen, and everything in between. I have attended and worked for Fantastic Fest and South by Southwest for many years. I married a film geek as well. While we don’t agree on everything, we agree on our love of movies.

Drew Tinnin (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews, Deliberations of Doom)
Drew Tinnin is a Rondo Award nominated interviewer and critic who has worked at SiriusXM’s Fangoria Radio and Fangoria magazine in NYC, as well as the London-based Dazed Digital. Currently a regular contributor to the Dread Central Network, he’s excited to join up with some old friends and other film fans on One of Us as a new contributor to Screener Squad.
