“Directed by Zoe Salicrup-Junco based upon a script by Tim Eliot, Marisol is a timely, incredibly engaging film… Eliot's performance here as Frederick is marvelous.”

The Independent Critic, Richard Propes

“Tim Eliot shines as a loving Mr. Darling and a supportive Smee.”

The People’s Critic, Meg Green

“Mike's transformation is born of necessity. That makes it no less dramatic, as it is also born of tremendous internal struggle, which Eliot displays masterfully. As dangerous and explosive as the role requires him to be, he is also able to make his character vulnerable and evoke sympathy for him. Eliot finds the lonely, fearful boy who lives under the façade of the loyal foot soldier spitefully ranting about the spawn of Satan.”

Broadway World, Nancy Grossman

“Eliot manages to break your heart once he's shed the rock-hard swagger of a good soldier in a very bad army.”

Boston Phoenix, Carolyn Clay

“The power of this bracingly intelligent play derives less from its explosive moments than from the interior struggles that register on the faces of two exceptional performers — Benjamin Evett and Tim Eliot — when they are not saying a word or breaking a thing… As Mike, Eliot communicates the skinhead’s loathsome qualities but also the human stakes as one hate-poisoned youth tries to grope his way toward a new understanding of the world.”

Boston Globe, Don Aucoin

“Marisol is an eye-opening experience for the viewer, its intensity and visual representations resonating long after the short has ended… It is memorable, heartbreaking, and effective—and a frontrunner in the live action category for 2019.”

Film Inquiry, Stephanie Archer

“The real stroke of genius here is casting the up-and-comer Tim Eliot against type as Bernie… With his bel canto voice and boy-next-door innocence, he's an unlikely, though wholly convincing, incarnation of neurosis a la Mamet.”

CurtainUp, Larry Switzy

“Utterly thoughtful, innovative, bold and tempered, Empirical Rogue and Tim Eliot have produced a memorable version of this much played Shakespearean favorite, itself the mother of all tragic romances. All one can say is Bravo! Bravo!”

The Happiest Medium, Geoffrey Paddy Johnson

“In the title role of the Scottish lord … Tim Eliot delivers intelligence and dark humor.”

Asbury Park Press, Alex Biese

“Tim Eliot as Mike delivers a smart performance that layers inquisitiveness, brute rage, and anguish. Mike is tormented by his guilt, but also sincerely convinced that people like himself are an endangered species; the world around him does little to dispel that notion.”

EDGE, Kilian Melloy

“Zoé Salicrup Junco’s astonishing new short film Marisol shows how a seemingly ordinary conversation can rapidly unravel into a horrific confrontation with high-level authorities who have let hatred misinform their judgment.”

Medium, Chris Hadley

“The deeply felt, naturalistic performances of Tim Eliot and Zenzelé Cooper as the lovers also give the show a welcome sense of reality.”

Backstage, Ron Cohen

“The real surprise here is A.R.T./MXAT Institute alum Eliot, whose take on Mike is totally arresting. He's a young man incandescent with belief in his own misguided convictions. Eliot makes the character as magnetic as his beliefs are repulsive.”

Boston Herald, Jenna Scherer

“Marisol is a beautiful film. It’s at once simple and complex, and is crafty to take viewers’ empathy by the hand and place the viewer in a passenger seat next to Marisol.”

Agnes Films, Julie Casper Roth

“Although “Cherry Docs” has appeared throughout Canada, the US and Europe since its premiere in Toronto in 1998, Gow didn’t realize the full power of his words and symbolism in his two-man, one-act play, until he visited opening night at Watertown’s New Repertory Theater and was blown away by actors Benjamin Evett and Tim Eliot. Obviously moved, Gow called this production the best he has seen.”
