      Erin Sullivan Autostraddle Bloomington, I found out, does not take place solely in a condo, but it does take place in a world where subtlety is not a concept that exists. Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Fr. Chris Carpenter Movie Dearest Starts promisingly but is ultimately compromised by its characters' shifting allegiances and alliances. Too much of the film is hard to swallow...(Writer-director Fernanda) Cardoso may need to get back to basics academically. Rated: C- Apr 29, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member The indie film Bloomington is an interesting character drama that follows a young woman's journey of self-discovery and search for independence. Former child star Jackie Kirk goes away to college and becomes involved with one of the instructors, but when she gets a chance to revive her Hollywood career it puts a strain on her relationship. Newcomer Sarah Stouffer gives an impressive performance and has a magnetic screen presence. Also, the writing does a good job at preventing the film from getting overly melodramatic and clichéd. In fact, the story and character development are rather minimalistic. Yet despite been a bit toned down, Bloomington is an entertaining coming-of-age film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a simple story, it reminded me of the movie "High Art" in the way the two characters get involved. Excellent chemistry between Allison McAtee and Sarah Stouffer. It's not a work of art,you need to see it without high expectations. There are several raccord issues, the photography it's not the best but I know they filmed in digital and with a reduced budget so I understand that.To sum up, when we watch a movie like "Bloomington" we have to identify it as a low budget movie with a team that is still learning, but they are in the right path. For all the team involved in this movie I just want to say: Your effort was worthwhile and ... I don't like the ending!! LOL Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member It's really good! Super hot and realistic, but the editing is not the greatest. Allison McAtee and Sarah Stouffer were great co-stars. I hated the ending even though it would be realistic in the modern day. Overall, it's a great film to see! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Seriously?!? Had me until last four minutes. I actually wanted the romantic ending. Damn you. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow...why did I buy this junk? It was great until near the end, the teacher started to act like a mother than a lover. The teacher seemed confused about her sexuality or was just a total "dog in heat" just to keep the girl away from her. Used her basically.
