The film's locales have an appealing authentic feel to them, and everything from decor to music contributes to making Looking for an Echo an appealing heart-tugger.

The best performance comes from Venora.

Well-meant but rambling little indie melodrama.
By Lou Lumenick FULL REVIEW

Assante, restrained and thoughtful, reveals Vinnie's midlife bewilderment as much as his bred-in machismo. His performance is too delicate, though, to stand up to the rigidly formulaic schemes
By Hazel-Dawn Dumpert FULL REVIEW

A slow-moving, dramatically slack film.
By Maitland McDonagh FULL REVIEW
30
The stream of sentimentality is endless and often sickly, and the warm afterglow is decidedly manufactured.

Corny, suds-drenched movie. The kindest way of looking at this roughly patched-together story is as the cinematic equivalent of the music it memorializes.
