...a vibrant, gorgeously photographed tale of friendship, sex, music and laughter, from a lively new Irish talent, Trish McAdam… Geoff Brown – The London Times ...McAdam displays a real gift for direction, exacting fine performances from her leads as well as a host of secondary characters. And her screenplay is a nuanced, playful and perceptive vision of fate and life’s ironies... Geoffrey Gilmore – Sundance Film Festival …Moxley’s (Gina Moxley as Kate) tender, understated portrayal of the betrayed friend is marvellously touching while Linehan (Rosaleen Linehan as Nora) delivers a show stopping performance as the cheery and hilarious mother... Paddy Barrett – Screen International ...Snakes and Ladders is the most alive movie about today’s Dubliners and Dublin since The Commitments. Ciaran Carty – Sunday Tribune …a highly intelligent, extremely witty comedy, consistently grounded in a refreshing realism. Joanne Hayden - Dublin Event Guide ...For the first time I saw something on the Irish screen that resembled my own experience. Katy Hayes – Letter to the Irish Times. |
