Veneer

About This Movie

Veneer is an interesting blend of comedy and mystery wrapped in a sci-fi edge, set against the backdrop of the pandemic. The film follows Dominic Willis, a suburban cocaine dealer, who seems to embody the absurdity of the times. The pacing feels a bit off-kilter, intentionally so, reflecting the chaos of lockdown life. The use of practical effects adds a gritty realism, which contrasts with the humor that sometimes feels dark and surreal. Performances are a grab bag, with some moments really hitting that sweet spot of awkwardness and charm. There's a certain offbeat tone that makes it memorable—definitely a quirky entry in the pandemic cinema landscape, not your typical fare but worth a look for its distinct vibe.
