Synopsis

Destined to be a Sapphic classic like Loving Annabelle, a cute former child-star turns college student and embarks on a torrid love affair with a seductive female professor.

Review

It’s the first day of the college semester and a challenging, new direction for adorable, doe-eyed Jackie Kirk (Sarah Stouffer). She is an ex-child-star playing the lead in popular sitcom called “Neptune 26,” but has put all of that behind her now. As the 22-year-old gets acclimated, she meets a foxy, persnickety psychology professor, Catherine Stark (Allison McAtee), who is reminiscent of the classic lesbian vixen on the prowl. She has a notorious reputation as being a “lady killer,” which secretly excites the new kid on campus. But Jackie isn’t innocent either, and when the student and teacher initially hook up sparks fly like it’s the Fourth of July! A lustful and impassioned romance begins, but not without complications and consequences From Jackie’s overbearing mother and envious classmates. The former actress is asked to re-audition for the role which made her famous, but this causes significant jealously and duress in the couple’s seemingly unbreakable relationship. She is forced to make a decision between launching a comeback or her true love. Both female leads brilliantly play off each other’s strengths, weaknesses and sexual desires which keeps us wanting more. Director Fernada Cardosa offers up an exciting and fresh perspective to the coming-of-age tale while paying homage to cult lesbian classics like the German drama Maedchen in Uniform. Bloomington is certainly not one to miss.

Romance for the Ladies

Amos Lassen wrote on 03/08/2011:

“Bloomington” deals with a teacher/student lesbian romance of a predatory nature. Jackie (Susan Stouffer) is a former child star who decides to go to college in Bloomington, Indiana. She does not fit in with the rest of the students because of who she is and when they do it is about the TV show she did as a child. She chose Bloomington as it was from her parents in California and she decides to study philosophy. Catherine Spark (Allison McAtee) is one of her professors and is rumored to be quite the lady about town. People say that she sleeps with her students who then disappear. She hits on Jackie almost as soon as she arrives at the school. Catherine pushes very hard and usually gets what she wants. Because she is a psychologist, she knows how to handle people and when she discovers what someone needs, she uses it to her advantage.

Everything happens very fast which made me think that perhaps the film lacks credibility but then never having being a lesbian, I do not know anything about the dynamics of lesbian dating, etc.

The two leads are excellent in their roles but the rest of the actors just seem to be walking thorough their parts. I found this discouraging and the film has such promise and two people could not carry the entire story, Then again, perhaps it is not fair for a gay man to review this film since he has little background in the situations. (Some will disagree with this and I know that. The film is well made but with some rough edges. Nevertheless I enjoyed it even though the tone of this review might make you think otherwise.
