Reviews:
“I had a few questions about the plot, some actions of the characters and the ending left me wondering about the supporting actors while the film score and music were pretty great! I absolutely loved Andreas Vingbäck’s contribution to this film and Skalonja’s use of it. Even in its uniqueness, it provided fantastically to the mood.” Fitz of Horror
“I felt that the ending left a few too many unanswered questions and loose ends. And the choreography, or maybe the camera angles, of a couple of the fight scenes, could have been better. But for a film that cost under five thousand dollars, Veronika looks and sounds exceptionally good overall.” Voices from the Balcony
