Reviews
............................................................ Fog Warning Written by: Chris Ward "The real suspense centers around the volatility and tension between the main characters. Ana, the suspected vampire who is being held in a cage against her will, appears to be a “normal,” intelligent woman. About halfway through the film, we see her hysteria show up. The audience can help but think, is it her demons? Or is she just going mad from being locked in a cage for days on end? Ana, by the way, is played brilliantly by Elise Rovinsky"

Women and War Written by: Jack Hilton Cunningham "The whole cast is very strong, but Elise Rovinsky, Casandera M.J. Lollar, and Lowell Byers particularly stand out....Rovinsky's performance of a nurse dealing with the wounded in Vietnam brought me to tears. For her, the war wasn't fought in te fields of rice patties, but against her own emotions and fatigue as she struggled to stay strong for her patients....As she retells her experience, she seems horrified at her own words as they come out of her mouth, as if she is just owning up to the experience for the first time. Rovinsky's performance is so fresh and moving; she's a tremendous actress to watch."

The Tender Trap "Caught in this conundrum is a glamorous and sophisticated violinist, Miss Sylvia Crewes (played by a charming and charismatic Elise Rovinsky), who by accident of years and experience most knowingly puts up with Charlie’s crap. She believes she sees the honorable man inside the wolf, but even if it’s all wishful thinking, is held hostage to his ethos of fun and romance..."

The Tender Trap "Particularly heartbreaking to our eyes is Sylvia, portrayed with elegance and charm by Elise Rovinsky. Despite her extraordinary blend of sophistication and wry human knowledge, she waits for Charlie to weary of playing the field, openly admitting that he’s simply her best hope for marriage. She develops a competition with a rapacious marriage-minded young assistant (Casandera M.J. Lollar). "...while Ms. Rovinsky’s wit and timing drive the screwball comedy..."

The Tender Trap "As Sylvia, Elise Rovinsky displays mature beauty through her controlled gestures and a dancer’s posture. Charlie helplessly bosses her around like his other conquests, but she appears to be in on the joke. Having some of the productions most memorable lines works in Rovinsky's favor as well: A monologue in which she reveals her fears about being single at 33 is a jarring moment in an otherwise lighthearted work" "The quality of its performances is,
without a doubt, what makes The Tender Trap memorable. In
addition to the strong lead performances, supporting players like Alex
Herrald as erratic scientist Earl Lindquist help establish the
production as a powerful display of New York’s dramatic talent."

Fog Warning Written by: Chris Ward "...FOG WARNING is not your traditional vampire tale. It is a psychological thriller, not a tale of bloodsucking monsters. In fact, it is the self-righteous Ronnie and his two murderously self-centered accomplices Eddie and Karl that prove to be the real monsters, even if they are wholly human. One of the best aspects of the film is the relationship that develops between Anna and Trudy. Both characters are lonely and abused in different ways and both undergo dramatic changes as the movie approaches its climax. Elise Rovinsky and Jacqueline Shea both do an amazing job of bringing real emotional depth to their characters and stand out even among the film’s exceptionally good cast..."

Love, Punky "...Elise Rovinsky as Maggie is more revealing. I thoroughly enjoyed her type-A personality straining to be spontaneous in order to connect with her sister..."
