Reviews:
“The script concentrates on the characters, with the web of connections between them gradually being revealed as the plot unfolds. Above Snakes is slow and methodical about letting it unfold. A bit too slow at times and some of the plot’s more melodramatic elements threatens to take over before the final act brings some action as well as answers.” 3.5/5, Voices from the Balcony
