Snakes and Ladders

About This Movie

So, 'Snakes and Ladders' is kind of a quirky gem from the mid-90s. It’s all about Jean and Kate, two street performers in Dublin, who are navigating the ups and downs of their lives. The vibe is very much grounded in the local music scene and the pub culture, which gives it a unique flavor. The performances are solid, capturing that rawness of friendship and the struggles of being nearly thirty. The script has this wry, observational humor that feels authentic, not forced. You get this blend of comedy and romance, but it’s really more about their friendship and the little moments that define them. It’s a nice snapshot of a certain time and place, without being overly sentimental.
