A waste of 90 minutes of my life

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Great movie very suspenseful and entertaining, Logan's performance was amazing to watch he captured the character so well

So much darkness and despair. A young man from a Jewish family goes to college, but he himself is an atheist but attends a conservative college where chapel is mandatory. Boy meets sexually adventurous girl. Boy is unsure what to think of said girl, but continues receiving hand and mouth favors from said girl. Girl jumps down the mental rabbit hole, again boy is unsure what to think or do. By the end of the film I was just glad it was over. Not since Ordinary People have I seen such a large amount of the plot revolve around sexual gratification. Skip It.

Honestly, i hardly write reviews, and i do watch a lot of movies because i have a lot of time in the winter. You know when you don't know what to watch because neither the title or the synopsis etc.. doesn't really attract you too much and in the end you pick one and thing OK lets give this one a chance? Soooo happy i picked this one yesterday night and watched it. This is a really clever and entertaining movie, fantastic dialogues, I'm Spanish and watched this in English with subtitles and was amazed at some of the conversations, its a sweet movie, realistic, romantic, entertaining.... trust me, watch it, you will not be disappointed.

I've not read the Philip Roth novel on which "Indignation" is based, but I have read other Roth novels, and I must say that watching this film pretty accurately captured the claustrophobic tone of the Roth with which I'm familiar.Logan Lerman plays a sheltered Jewish boy who experiences his first taste of a larger world when he gets a scholarship to a strict religious college. We're stuck in this kid's head for the entire film, and it's not a pleasant place to be. He's uptight, prudish, and overly-critical, holding himself and others to strict moral codes that have never been tested. He butts heads with the college dean, played by Tracy Letts, who bullies him and makes assumptions about him, but who also exposes some of his very real flaws. It's not a great film, but it is a conversation starter. It's about what happens when a young person realizes that the world doesn't necessarily always work the way he wants it to and being unable to cope with that reality. One of the things I liked best about it is how the movie upends our initial assumptions about the main character. We assume we are meant to sympathize with him and be on his side against the injustice he expects from being Jewish in a Christian school, but instead we realize that he's his own worst enemy and that the greatest threat comes from his own unbending rigidity.Grade: B+
