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. Go to Full Review

C-
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. Go to Full Review

Jasmine W @jasniquejewels Aug 31, 2026 the plot definitely moved quick and so did some of the characters but straight to the point, surprisingly was able to get through this film and found it quite interesting. I just know A03 & wattpad writers would eat this up. Bloomington literally screams mommy issues. catherine stark step on me respectfully she is so mommy. ngl did find some of these scenes to be hot. See more David-Joe K @RT33038927 Aug 16, 2025 Movie that starts with a happy momentum & carries all the way through. Catherine, the professor is really likable and mature. Jackie is a work in progress. A movie you'll be pleased you took the time for See more Jul 24, 2015 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. See more Sep 1, 2014 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 See more Jan 5, 2014 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! See more Aug 4, 2013 Seriously?!? Had me until last four minutes. I actually wanted the romantic ending. Damn you. See more Read all reviews
