Mathews has a deceptively subtle voice as a director, providing a supportive platform more than insisting on cinematic results. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 10/17/2024
3.5/4.0
The brilliance of Roleplay is very likely the same reason some won't resonate with it. The stories that come to life here are messy and true, less black-and-white and more filled with kaleidoscopic grays. Go to Full Review Abe Friedtanzer The Film Experience 07/27/2024

Kate Lyn Matthews’ feature debut gets intimate in a way that feels very constructive and has the potential to do good. Its rawness is extremely effective. Go to Full Review Brandon Lewis Geek Vibes Nation 07/03/2024
8/10
