Susan impersonates Veronica to amuse the only living family member, Veronica’s sister, living in the past and believing that Veronica is indeed alive and angry with her. Once Susan dresses in Veronica’s clothes, she finds herself locked in the role and locked in the room. Or is this really Veronica pretending to be Susan? It’s like being trapped in someone else’s nightmare. “Veronica’s Room” has a impact that is jarring, funny and full of action-packed vintage suspense.
