SummaryThrough 56 vignettes, Echo draws a portrait of modern day Iceland at Christmas time. In open countryside, a farm is burning. In a school, a choir is singing carols. In a museum, a woman is arguing with her ex. Whether close or distant, these characters struggle at once with their past and present.

Once a sense of rhythm is grasped, things fall into place, and audiences will exit the cinema debating their favorite scenes, recalling a wealth of graceful, humane interactions.

The collection of quirks, emotional connections, whimsy and humanity makes for poignant viewing.

This is an exciting new direction for Runarsson, who proves that making a film about Iceland today doesn’t necessarily require a three-act narrative structure and characters with carefully calibrated needs and desires and neatly constructed backstories.

The cumulative effect is like strolling through a Reykjavik gallery where each painting moves within its well-chosen frame.

Stop making old characters behave like ****. That's not how you introduce a new character. Also I liked Echo's original ability not this mysterious indigenous ****, so is this sets up for Meta-humans (or a mutant?) existed through out history? Was that ever established before???
