A love story where the boundaries between presence and absence, care and dependence, desire and control blur until they dissolve. Leo and Anne chase each other—coming close, drifting apart, and searching for their way back. They cannot let go, nor break free. Through the rooms, Ava’s voice echoes across time, carrying to the surface what endures—and what can no longer be held back.

It’s like watching a waiter nimbly carry a salver of champagne flutes through a crowded apartment before tripping over the cat and falling out the window. It’s a major shame because there’s so much to love. Go to Full Review Ryan Lattanzio IndieWire Sep 7, 2026
B+
Pallaoro’s piercingly moving study of addiction spirals into operatic exaggeration and blazing unsubtlety, but that shift never feels dishonest or betraying of the story he’s trying to tell. Go to Full Review Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter Sep 6, 2026
As the most inscrutable of the story’s characters, Vikander strikes an unsettling nerve between openness and stealth. Go to Full Review Luke Hicks The Film Stage 20 hrs ago
Marinelli and Vikander are terrific together. The aching connection between the two is palpable in their absence from one another, in their suffering silence. Go to Full Review Hayley Croke Loud and Clear Reviews Sep 10, 2026
3/5
Ultimately, The Echo Chamber suffers under the weight of its own self-indulgence without doing the lifting to land the moral of any of the heavy lessons it sets out to explore. Go to Full Review Luis Martínez El Mundo (Spain) Sep 8, 2026
4/5
Thanks to a cast of incredibly talented and profound actors, what remains is a deep, unsettling, and complete film. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
