Theater

Soule performed a leading role in a theater festival in 2013 that was devoted to playwright Lucy Thurber, and was titled ''The Hill Town Plays''. It was produced by Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, and took place in a number of theaters in New York City. Soule described the experience to ''The New York Times'' saying, "Doing one play is like a novella, but this is like a novel, telling a much bigger story and asking questions that root much deeper." Soule appeared as "Lizzie" in Thurber’s play ''Killers and Other Family'', when it premiered in New York, and again when it was revived at Axis Theater One Sheridan Square. Soule's performance in the demanding part, a role of "terrifying physicality", was described as "Enormously powerful and deeply moving."

Soule appeared off-Broadway in ''The Other Thing'', a new play written by Emily Schwend, and produced by the Second Stage Theater. In it she gives a "mesmerizing performance as a woman in constant battle with her own demons." It was a "truly terrifying performance", according to one reviewer. Variety describes Soule as "a riveting onstage presence".

In A. R. Gurney’s play ''The Dining Room'', at the Clurman Theater in New York, she and the cast won a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Ensemble Performance. The ''CurtainUp'' review said of her, "Samantha Soule is multiple-wonderful: as a shy, wide-eyed teenager ... as a young wife and mother who wants to put life with her husband (as well as her Lesbian lover) behind her and come home ... and, most touchingly, as a grandmother with signs of Alzheimer’s."

Film and television

Soule appears in films including ''No Retreat'', ''How We Got Away with It'', and ''The Irishman''―which stars Robert De Niro and is directed by Martin Scorsese. ''The Irishman'' is considered "one of his best films".

Soule's appearances on television include ''Nurse Jackie'', ''The Blacklist'', and '' Law & Order: Special Victims Unit''. She appears in the miniseries '' The Queen's Gambit'' as Miss Jean Blake, in ''Tales of the City'' as Inka, and in the Netflix series '' Godless'' as Charlotte Temple. ''Godless'', produced by Steven Soderbergh, is a Western that focuses on women's experiences.

As a film director, Soule's films include ''Birdwatching'' and ''Midday Black Midnight Blue''. She also stars in, and wrote the screenplay for ''Midday Black Midnight Blue'', which was nominated for Best Screenplay Award at the 2021 Anchorage International Film Festival. The film is described as "an intimate and stirring portrait of souls struggling through grief in order to at last discover something resembling solace."
