BLOOMINGTON Is generally worth avoiding.
Jackie is a former child star trying to fit into college. Almost immediately she meets Professor Catherine Stark (McAtee), a sexy psychology professor with a reputation for bedding female undergrads. After a few stolen glances and a single conversation the two crawl between the sheets. I will admit their first kiss was as HOT as any kiss i've ever seen on screen!!! I just did not know where it came from? After the requisite sex scenes and laughing and cooking together and reveling in all the fun they are having, they (you guessed it) fall in love.
Watching lesbian movies is like having your girlfriend cook you dinner. No matter what it tastes like you are going to love it because you know how much care and effort she put into it. There is the definite possibility that the green bean casserole she just whipped up is going to be pretty awful. The thing is, every once in a while it isn't half bad. This is how I feel about lesbian movies. I watch them the whole time hoping I don't have to cover my eyes for another embarrassing round of boring plot lines, terrible acting and an endless loop of the one Ani Difranco song the producers could get the rights to.
Bloomington starts promisingly but too much of the film is hard to swallow, from the casual way it treats an ethically-questionable sexual relationship between student and teacher to its somewhat anti-climactic ending.
It's not the worst lesbian film I've ever seen. but I struggled trying to figure out why this sexy, smoldering, intelligent professor would go after, I'm sorry, a kid.

This movie was very well acted it could of been great if not for the plot and poor ending. There were so many opportunities and different story lines luckily the actresses in the film were not only good looking but good actors. I enjoyed the film a lot but felt too many unanswered questions at it's conclusion. Catherines character was acted so brilliantly and the young Jackie was quite good also. It's been a while since a well acted lesbian interest piece has been released. There could be a comparison made to loving Annabelle but only on the surface both stories are unique in there own way. I hope these actresses come to light again in more films just like this one.
A typical film relationship between a teacher and a student. Lots of romance, not very realistic, poor build up of any tension before things get going. Everything happens very quickly, and the teacher herself looks like the one who only passes students ;) A better presentation of Jackie, her loneliness, problems, feelings. I was surprised that this film has lower ratings than "Loving Annabelle". I think "Bloomington" is better, it has more of these emotions and we can actually get into the relationship of the characters, there is tension here. Again, no ending, the movie just cuts off, which I didn't really like in this case. The feelings of the teacher and her reaction to Jackie's further career are well portrayed. The plot is a bit far-fetched, but the movie is ok, although very unrealistic.
First let me say that both the female leads are very hot and believable in their characters. If not for them this movie is unbearable. Coming to the movie, I watched this movie without any expectations. I did not even see it's trailer. So I was open minded. first one half of the movie is very sexy and fast paced. It was very entertaining and certainly raised my expectations and I was pretty surprised why I did not heard of it before. Well I am from India may be that's one reason. But any way half way past it becomes dull and boring. I don't see any story line going. It feels like some random scenes were added to fill up the rest of movie. They tried to add conflict as every movie needs one but it there is no point in conflict and it is not even a conflict. The ending is like we were some bunch of kids listening to astory and director thought it was time to end so he said the end. that's it. So if you are looking for a hot lesbian romance. I would recommend this. But I am telling you that as soon as you it starts to get boring, just stop watching. Don't bother to see remaining just to know what happens bcz nothing really happens. I gave it 6 for very hot first 45 mins or so.
I really wanted to like this film, but I saw no chemistry between the lead characters at all.
The character of Jackie exhibited no real emotional response to her professor, and the professor was totally casual throughout the film. I expected sparks to fly. You have a perfect setup, a great premise for the film with lots of genuine opportunity for conflict. Instead, it was as exciting as a paint by numbers picture. I really was disappointed that there was no real passion exhibited between any of the characters. Even the fights were subdued and drab.
As for the sex, if you are going to imply the sex, rather than show it(which is alright with me), at least make it implied passion.
The characters looked like they were just going through the motions.

- TriviaIn close up scenes with Allison McAtee, Sarah Stouffer had to frequently stand on an apple box to reach Allison McAtee. If you watch carefully, towards the beginning of the movie you can see them standing next to one another and there is almost an 8 inch difference in height between the two actresses.
