	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"A tenderly observed mosaic around a festive season in Iceland (...) It captures a sense of the way we live now."	POS
United States	Leonardo Goi The Film Stage	"'Echo' has the poignancy of a love letter, the immediacy of a first-hand chronicle, and the energy of beating organ."	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	There are numerous magical moments in Rúnar Rúnarsson’s moving mosaic 'Echo'"	POS
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"At the end of the film, a multipart portrait of contemporary Iceland emerges that feels necessarily somewhat incomplete, given time constraints, but always deeply human."	POS
United States	Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist	"Compelling and uniquely constructed (...) The director uses the film to elicit critical and tender observations about his country"	POS
	Marta Bałaga Cineuropa	"The chosen structure makes it easier to think about it than to actually feel it (...) A simple story with one of the most devastating outcomes I happened to see that year"	POS
United Kingdom	Ellen E. Jones The Guardian	"A mesmerising mosaic (...) a worthy contender for your alternative Christmas classic (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
