Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Mathews has a deceptively subtle voice as a director, providing a supportive platform more than insisting on cinematic results. Mar 16, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer The Film Experience 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. Rated: B+ Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Brandon Lewis Geek Vibes Nation More than a documentary about campus sexual violence, Roleplay is a damning window into the ways society reinforces rape culture. Rated: 8/10 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots Watching as the creative process brings out the deepest hurt along with the most freeing form of healing is not only a testament to the courage and authenticity of the film’s subjects, but it’s cathartic for the viewer, too. Jun 28, 2024 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest The director captures the amorphous nature of conversations around sexual violence when everyone has different ideas about consent, arriving from different backgrounds and beliefs.
