It was lovely to start out seeing the lovely Echo Lake area where I've trampled half my life - but certainly ANOTHER thing to see a rather slow moving, nonsensical life "story" unfold clumsily and in a very shallow manner. If it was meant to "entertain" it did not. If it was meant to leave a sincere message? It did not. It was a poor rendition of being young and stupid in a VARIETY of ways, the least not being the wholly immature profanity and multiple addictions indicating a HUGE stunt in growth of this clearly, tempermental late 20's if not early 30's "kid". It's possible the story itself is BETTER when written - but the acting fell in ALL parties and didn't even "carry" the storyline very well due to complete failure of worthy dialog 9 out of 10 times.
Plot summary
A minimalist drama about Will, a 30-year old who is losing control of his life. When his estranged father dies, Will inherits the family cabin in the Sierras and with it a new perspective on his family, childhood and his habit of sabotaging relationships. Echo Lake is a story about the things we inherit, whether we want to or not.

NOT a "great" movie
One must experience Solitude
It's a great movie about an irresponsible guy named William in his thirties. He goes back to the cabin to live, owned by his father after he died. The main purpose was to sell the cabin and make cash, but the plan changes after he realizes his mistakes by experiencing solitude. Loved all the landscapes in the movie. Made me feel like I was on a vacation at some National Park. Highly recommended for all the nature-lovers, who enjoy hitch-hiking in the forest.
