Though it entertains from start to finish, and explains Timmermann’s role in expanding the range of humanity that Hollywood puts on screen, it leaves us feeling we don’t know the woman herself, not one bit.

“Bonnie” is perhaps more interesting for what it reveals about the audition process than anything about Bonnie herself

Rated: C+

Moveable Fest

Although Timmermann gave up any notions of being an actor herself before reaching puberty, realizing she was more skilled as an observer, it is nice to see her get such a well-deserved and insightful close-up.
