Reviews:
“It’s a triumph of budget film-making, thanks in large part to luminous performances from O’Bryan and Kennedy. Those who need their storylines tied up with a nice linear bow will likely find The Veil frustrating, but those willing to accept its dream logic will find it an exceptionally poignant parable for these feminist times.” Forestpunk
“O’Bryan and Kennedy display fine chemistry together in their engaging portrayals of their troubled characters. Beyl’s film is a wonderfully helmed and paced slow burner, a character study with supernatural elements that gradually reveal themselves.” Horror Fuel
” …a plot this complex and scares that deeply psychological, don’t work in the slightest without quality acting and thankfully you’ll find that here as well. Since Sean O’Bryan, who plays Douglas, sells the regret of that dark day, and Douglas’ desperation to grab that second chance… with a gravity that feels a little too real at times, and he is wonderfully counterbalanced by Rebekah Kennedy, who plays Hannah.” Nerds That Geek
“The Veil may tread a different path from your usual box-office fare, but this deviation makes it intriguing. It’s an introspective dive into the consequences of past actions, a film that doesn’t shy away from the less illuminated corridors of the human psyche. This endeavor is for those who appreciate a narrative inviting contemplation as it whispers a haunting melody long after the final scene fades to black.” ★★★ Overly Honest Movie Reviews
