Echo follows a teenage girl as she contemplates the loss of her father, wasting away her time running simple scams on the street.
The central performance led by Lauren Carse is the strongest here, she leads a totally convincing and compelling performance, utterly let down with the story problem of having nothing to contemplate about. However, Carse still displays a deep sadness through her performance, shown especially by the cinematography emphasis close-ups in order to build an intimate connection with the character.
Narratively the film follows a cyclical structure, beginning in mostly the same scenario as it began, with the protagonist following what at first appears to be the same scam, however the previous scene of her brother riding off on his bike and her truly shocked and pained expression at the end of the film tell a different story.
Overall a surprisingly strong film hampered by a lack of strong themes or narrative.
