Its an ultra-low budget movie with stilted dialog written so poorly that it yanks you out of the story - like characters speaking in the first person but using adjectives and adverbs fit for the third person, such as "My mother and I were understandably baffled."
if you can get past the amateurism, its a story about what its like to be traumatized by an attack and feel like no one understands you now, not even the people closest to you. In a clumsy, Stockholm syndrome way, the only person who understands what the protagonist went through, and has now become as a result of the attack, is the person who attacked her.

Low budget crap with any sense... waste of time! Cinematography in XXI century it is a disaster.

This movie was 90 minutes that I regrettably wasted out of my life watching. Did the writer make any effort at all to make this movie make any sense? A complete underwhelming blood clot.

Despite of the bad reviews, I've decided to watch and found Miranda Veil an interesting, funny and engaging movie. This can be such a diversive movie like Under the Skin, which is my personal favourite. I didn't want to give it a 10 just to compensate the bad scores, but it's a strong 7/10 in my opinion. I liked the actress. She reminded me of Scarlett Johansson. :)
I couldn't really tell where this story was headed, but I couldn't stop watching.
It had a somewhat "Donnie Darko" vibe to it, but not quite as tragic. The acting was decent, but what it lacked in acting, was totally redeemed by the story. Most of the gore was done in a way where it was performed out of view and left to the imagination. This movie wasn't a huge budgeted production, but I'm glad that the writer/director was able to put his story out there with what he had.

For a low budget indie/horror film it delivers on the premise. Get into the movie a little deeper and find some comedy/drama mixed in.

Low budget
bad directing
bad special effects (more like none)
bad acting
but with all this cons the movie is a masterpiece with a true original story on a class apart from 99% of all and everything done in the last decade
with higher budget and better special effects and better directing and acting this would be a true BLOCKBUSTER

I have to say that I really enjoyed watching this movie. It was quirky and weird at times, but that added to the charm. Annabel Barrett and Vida Ghaffari did a great job playing their characters. The writing at times felt a bit forced and unnatural but it didn't detract too much from the overall production.
Essentially, aside from the kidnap and torture, the movie is about a quest for identity for Miranda. What is she, and what does that mean for her? I wou.ik wholeheartedly give this movie a chance.

Great acting performances... excellent chemistry between the main characters.
No need for special effects here, or anything else... very well done, with talent and creativity.
I would have watched one or two more hours of this magical ride...
Interesting, symbolic, and unique story. A must see... for all thruth seekers out there.

I loved this film so much. It takes you on an unexpected journey as genres bend and blend. Prepare to be transfixed as you set forth on an epic quest towards self-discovery and the unknown that will have you thinking Wizard of Oz just entered the Twilight Zone. Superb acting, thought provoking writing, and expert film-making.

Engaging, funny, brutal, and interesting. This isn't a film you can compare anything else to, which is awesome. All too often, films seem to regurgitate the same tired narratives and ideas that have made finding a good film appear to be quite the task. Miranda Veil took me back to a time in the 80's when you would go to the video store and find that trippy indie gem, then tell all your friends at school about it. It's different. The performances were solid as they balanced the comedic aspects and dramatic areas extremely well. By the end, I wanted to know more of this world and where it could go in the future. I actually cared about that instead of holding only a temporary feeling of satisfaction when finished before moving on. That's the mark of something worthwhile. The special effects were simple, but decent. Nothing overdone, which can take you out of a film. I definitely recommend this film and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

A wannabe serial killer picks a victim, only to discover that she can't die. What starts as a gruesome horror movie quickly turns into something completely different. Miranda Veil is a very strange film, full of contradictions and changes in moody and style. It's also a daring and quite cheeky film. Does everything work? No. Does everything make sense? Absolutely not. Did I still love every second of it? Abso-freaking-lutely! I can't think of a more delightful movie experience this year.

Gem of a film. If it were just slightly more grim, sedate and in Russian it would have seemed like a lost Taskovsky film. But I'm glad it's not.

Loved this movie. I wouldn't say it had a profound message about life the universe and everything, but every scene was so refreshingly different from 99% of horror movies out there. To me it was just pure entertainment from start to end. Acting pretty decent. Hope to see more of the leads. Just go into this with an open mind and desire to be entertained. Another reviewer here said they could watch one or two more hours of Miranda's adventure .. I Agree!!! Give us a sequel please!!
I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this movie. The premise was kind of sketchy, but the two lead actors made this an enjoyable watch! The actor who played Soren played the character with a perfect balance of self pity and humor. The actor who played Miranda seemed to be having fun with the role, which made her character arc very engaging. I am hoping for a sequel, that dives deeper into what she is! Great Movie!

If you're open minded to low budget indies then you really must take a chance on this one.
It's a wonderful journey for both of the main characters. The path along the way explores this subtle mythos with interesting encounters and self awareness. It's funny, heartfelt, weird and entertaining.
I enjoyed this film way more than I expected. The imdb rating was low but the marketing line was enough to entice me to watch anyway. I suggest you do the same.

I was going to give this movie a 7 but after reading the producers own review of her movie I decided to up my score.
I have no issues with a political viewpoint. Everyone has one. What really annoys me is when it is shoehorned into a movie in an attempt to preach to the audience.
The fact that Maggie took the option to tell a good story instead deserves kudos.
We primarily watch movies for entertainment and abit of escapism and Miranda Veil ticks both boxes with a nice big dose of quirkiness sprinkled on top. Definitely my kind of indie movie.
More mainstream movie makers should take note.
