A tender and refreshingly honest portrait of sisterhood, this short film captures the quiet complexities of love, resentment, and reconciliation between two women. It thoughtfully explores the rarely depicted emotional terrain of two sisters at a crossroads, as they face a life-changing decision that will alter their relationship. The performances from the cast are superb and heartfelt. What comes about is a film that takes you on a journey of the heartbreaking and hopeful, as our protagonist comes to terms with the unexpected and her own personal journey and hopes for motherhood. A reminder that what we plan for and expect might not always be what we receive.

I had the thrill of viewing the film, "Play Me Like That" staring, Nicole Gabriella Scipione as Slipper and Alina Phelan as Crescent whom are sisters in this beautiful story of sisterly love and their magical relationship.

Their onscreen relationship will make you believe they are sisters off screen as it is pure magic.

The story is about two wild, fun-loving, hippy-type, free-spirited sisters whom both long to have a child and their journey going forward to achieve that goal, along with the emotions attached to making that dream a reality.

Their magical relationship screams of the love they have for one another as well as the love in their hearts for the unborn child they long to have and be a part of one another lives.

The onscreen relationship between Nicole and Allina is just like they were real blood-bonded sisters.

They portrayed their parts with beauty, grace and love for one another in the onscreen parts they portrayed.

The music was beautiful and very fitting for the film.

You will need to be prepared to laugh, cry, and have a plethora of emotions as you take this journey with the sisters.

I look forward to more of Nicole's brilliant work in film being seen very soon.

The film titled, "Play Me Like That" was a work of art.

It was filed with lots of emotion.

It touched on a serious subject, but through creativity and humor the message did shine through.

The acting was suburb and each character nailed their part.

The characters all played off of one another and Nicole's diverse acting skills were terrific.

She showed so many emotions from happy to sad.

The scene where the actors were in the artist studio was tastefully done. Just enough skin was tastefully shown to not distract from the message in the studio scene.

In conclusion, I feel this film was a masterpiece. The fact it was a short film was even more amazing.

I feel the parts that each actor portrayed fit them and their personalities immensely.

I enjoyed this film and look forward to more of Nicole's work in the future.

I give this film two thumbs up.

From playful, sisterly antics to moments of grief and raw emotion, this film shows some of the most intimate, tender moments a relationship can have. Play Me Like That movingly portrays a bond between two sisters. I could feel the history behind Slipper and Crescent, as well as their friendship. I love the blend of more intense dialogue between the sisters woven in with light-hearted dancing and laughter.

The character, Slipper, played by Nicole Gabriella Scipione is especially captivating. Slipper possesses a child-likeness that contrasts with her sister's more practical personality. Slipper is whimsical, passionate, earnest. It's really her story I was brought into, I could feel her longing.

The film is so expertly written and so beautifully acted it immediately pulled me in. It was poetic, heartfelt, sad yet peaceful. I highly recommend Play Me Like That!!

I very much enjoyed this sweet, powerful short film. The script was insightful and sincere, unique and moving. I empathized with the main character, and believed in her relationship with her sister. I was drawn into their dilemma. Both of these performances were truthful and honest. The art class scene was hilarious, and a nice change of pace, with a great cameo by Silas Weir Mitchell. All elements of the film seemed very professional: smart, concise script, well lit cinematography, clear and focused direction, etc. The final scene was very poignant. Overall, it seemed a labor of love by all involved, and was an enjoyable watch.

This tender, whimsical short film explores the complex layers of sisterhood, longing, and love. With moments that are laugh out loud funny and also deeply moving, the film balances its emotional core with a vibrant city backdrop, quirky, yet relatable characters, and poetic narration that will linger long after. At the center is the radiant Nicole Gabriella Scipione, writer and lead, whose performance is breathtaking. She brings raw vulnerability and warmth to the screen, portraying a woman caught between dreams and the beauty of acceptance. An honest and emotionally resonant piece. A celebration of family, promises, and the truths we must face. It's a film worth watching more than once.

This moving film beautifully explores the bond of sisterhood. It's quiet moments and honest conversations are powerful and authentic - it's a very touching and accurate portrayal. A talented actress, Nicole Scipione presents a script that is nuanced and delicate, funny and raw, whimsical without ever being trite. The direction brings the gorgeous poetic dialogue to life in something that is next door to realism. Lovely performances all around - Alina Phelan particularly shines in her roll, and she and Scipione have a lovely chemistry together. This is a touching, intimate portrait of shared pain, resilience, and the strength of familial love.

Skillfully and sensitively directed by Julianna Robinson, Play Me Like That is both affecting and, at times, quite funny, with a powerhouse lead performance by Nicole Gabriella Scipione and an impressive supporting cast, featuring Alina Phelan, Silas Weir Mitchell, Pamela Shaddock and Onahoua Rodriguez - all doing distinguished work as well. The chemistry between Scipione and Phelan as sisters is palpable, and Mitchell has a scene-stealing turn as an unapologetic jerk. In addition, Robinson and the production team deserve particular praise for the superbly curated soundtrack, which manages to support the emotional heft of the piece without ever being intrusive. This is an excellent, richly rewarding short film which deserves to find a wide audience.

Play Me Like That is a tender, emotionally layered short that leaves a lasting impression. Nicole Gabriella Scipione delivers a near-acrobatic performance-balancing vulnerability, wit, and remarkable emotional range. The film explores identity, memory, and human connection through striking visual poetry and writing that feels both intelligent and alive. Every moment feels intentional and true, with small gestures carrying deep emotional weight. A quiet triumph that rewards close attention-this team clearly poured their hearts and souls into creating something unforgettable and profoundly moving.

A touching and beautifully made short that mixes heartfelt drama with moments of humor. Nicole Gabriella Scipione and Alina Phelan shine as sisters with a close and complicated connection, bringing real warmth and depth to their roles. The film's visuals and sound are rich and inviting, and the story lingers long after it ends. A wonderful showcase of Nicole's talent both on the page and on screen.

This is a beautiful and profound story of love and loss. A powerful exploration of sisterhood, it offers a powerful, unique perspective. Beautiful performances from everyone, but especially the two lead women. It's also beautifully conceived and well produced and directed. I love films that feature strong female characters who have depth, and this film delivers. Highly recommend.

Solid performances and a heartfelt story has drawn me to see Play Me Like That several times. Exquisite cinematography! I'm looking forward to seeing this on the big screen. Was left reflecting on my own childhood dreams and where I stand with them today. For a highly satisfying cinematic experience go see this gem of a short. Take your brother or sister or cousin or friend!!!

This treasure of a short film is acted and directed brilliantly. The two leads, Nicole Gabriella Scipione and Alina Phelan, give us a performance filled with great vulnerability and honesty, so much so that you'd think they are sisters in real life. This film made me ponder familial love, what we are willing to give and what we expect from it (even if not consciously). It reminds me that people we feel most comfortable with are the ones we share the biggest emotions and with whom we carry the most unspoken between. The characters, script and melodic pacing rapidly waxes and wanes between love, devotion and sadness. The film also superbly weaves in poetry, literature, visual art and music; making this film a love letter to art itself and honoring the great need to create. Highly recommend!

This beautiful short is filled with passion, trust and Faith! The two actors that play sisters Nicole and Alina have dynamic chemistry as they weave through their story with laughter and heartbreak. You become invested in them in their story. The incredible shots were carefully created and beautifully lit! You can tell the director wanted a cohesive flow as we follow each moment! The cinematography was such a delight in this short! Drawing you in as things unfolded.

Thanks to the filmmakers for not spoon-feeding us everything they think we need to know. There is some mystery to the story, some stuff we're left to ponder on our own, and that suited me just fine. The film is beautifully shot--for example, there's a circling dolly sequence worthy of the finest big-studio cinematographers and directors. And you wanna talk good acting? Look no further! Throughout the movie, especially in the climactic art studio scene, the two leads absolutely knock it out of the park. To quote a much better reviewer than I: real human emotion is still the best special effect.

I felt the love and beauty of this friendship in a powerful way watching this film. It was both tender, compelling, believable and sad all in the same film. I liked all the characters. The sisters liked each other and had a believable relationship doing things that sisters and or friends would do together. The girls make hard decisions together and put their hearts out there for others to see. The story made me confront my own insecurities and fears. This film is worth every minute. Find out how to be there when your friend grieves loss and is hurt beyond words. Learn how to live well and love well.

This was such a delight of a film to experience. It's so rare to find a movie that makes you laugh and cry in the span of twenty minutes, but this one does an incredible job of balancing different tones by focusing on the one thing that unites them - the sisters' powerful relationship, brought to life by amazing performances by Nicole Scipione and Alina Phelan.

I think i especially love that nothing about this relationship is romanticized. They're not perfect together, we're not promised a happy storybook ending, but if anything that made me value the portrayal - and what they have together - even more. It's truly authentic. Bravo!

"Play Me Like That" is a rare short film that crams a feature's worth of experience into a brief 24 minutes of screen time, giving a glimpse into the epic attempts of two sisters to navigate frustrated dreams. This complicated sibling relationship is layered with richness by screenwriter (and key cast member) Nicole Gabriella Scipione, whose character is both free-spirited and winsome, teetering on the brink of an abyss that others hint is of her own making. Her too-calm sister, a foil played tenderly by Alina Phelan, tries to moderate her sibling while yearning for the courage to emulate her. Both manage to woo the audience to stay close in spite of increasingly volatile emotions.

It's an insightful microcosm, helmed by Julianna Robinson who balances the pathos of the theme with the script's comedic relief, giving Silas Weir Mitchell (who also produced), Pamela Shaddock, and Onahoua Rodriguez moments to shine. With accomplished cinematography by Matthew Kohnen and a surprising wealth of music, this production by Scipione, with producer Samantha Curley of Level Ground Productions and Mitchell's Phantom Limbs Plays & Pictures, realizes the beauty of the short film format, and, like the best of them, deserves repeated viewings.

Play Me Like That is a touching story, exploring the complicated, playful, and sacrificial relationship between two sisters. This short is beautifully shot with a soundtrack that elevates the story at just the right moments. The relationship between the sisters is believable and reveals a vulnerability inherent in our intimate family and friends. I appreciated the complexity of people's decisions and how those affect others, even when the consequences are painfully unintentional. Though the story was heartbreaking at moments, the overall feel is one of hope and connection. The film captures the balance of humor and heart, and the audience is ultimately left wondering what they would do. Would they offer such a sacrifice?

This is a love letter that is beautifully written with amazing imagery in the dialogue. The performances are amazing. Filled with emotion and honesty that carry's one along on this journey of longing, hope and discovery. There is also a rawness in this short that is so powerful one cannot be anything but in awe of this accomplishment. The story may start a bit unconnected at first but stay with it because they discovery is well worth the time. It is a journey worth taking. It also shows how a short film can weave so much into its characters that one sees a whole lifetime of relationships and loss that many feature length films never achieve. BRAVO to one and all in this production!
