	Media	Author	Review
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A piercingly relevant and disturbing documentary (...) What 'Roll Red Roll' reveals is that these boys also need to be saved from themselves."
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"A tough but essential watch, 'Roll Red Roll' documents how a sexual assault in a declining Appalachian town became an international cause célèbre."
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"The filmmaker relates the story with compelling tension, with a few surprises toward the end"
		Anthony Lane The New Yorker	"The film is brief, at eighty minutes, and all the more potently wrathful for being so restrained (...) [It] feels raw and pressing"
		Lena Wilson Slate	"'Roll Red Roll' os one of the most horrifying documentaries I’ve ever watched, and everybody needs to see it"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"An insightful portrait of an entire city shaken and altered by one heinous act, amplified by modern technology (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
