Watch Indignation For Free

Memorable, crazy movie

Absolutely the worst movie.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

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

After seeing this movie I am astounded that I myself survived at all, however marginally, after finishing my college education. Probably I shouldn't have. This film taught me way more about myself, and the diabolical twists and turns of a self-created life...than about what I was supposed to understand about what kids think about the wars raging all around them, about why Roth picked the material he wrote about, or about why some themes in life get recognized and why some don't. It's still an OK film and of course I will be reading the novel next. I assume there will be far more fine-tuned nuance there, and I also suspect I will personally feel maybe more invisible as well. Still plan to publish this reader- review and still plan to writhe through many more twists and turns in my own astoundingly improbable and invisible life. And while I'm doing that I'll probably read "A Separate Peace" one more time and then maybe get smug about how the movie for that book likewise failed to hold up. Or maybe I'm just obsessed on who can "pass that inspection" and who can't.

This isn't really a review. It's more of a question. But I realize I have to meet the minimum word count to get it published so I'll write a review. But first the question (and spoiler alert.) Near the end of the movie the Dean tells Marcus that Olivia is pregnant. Naive Marcus is dumbfounded and swears he can't be the father because he didn't have intercourse. All he got was a hand job from Olivia in his hospital room. So my question is: Is the viewer supposed to conclude that when Olivia went into the bathroom to wash up after servicing Marcus that she first slipped her sperm covered fingers up her vagina? Or am I imagining too much?I would have liked the movie better if the script had been clearer about this. Also quite a few scenes from the book were not in the movie. Perhaps a low budget made cuts necessary. But there were no special effects, so why the need for cuts? Especially since the movie runs well under two hours. Also the ending makes no sense at all. We are supposed to believe that Marcus dies in the Korean War after getting expelled from college and drafted. And yet this "death" scene is filmed indoors in some dark building; not any kind of Korean battlefield I ever saw. And even worse the enemy soldier who kills Marcus seems to be wearing a WWII Japanese uniform, complete with cap and tropic warfare sunshade. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the movie. The acting by all the characters was great. That's why I gave it an 8 our of 10.

Just as I shouldn't upvote films based on their set-pieces (*coughManchesterByTheSea*cough*), I shouldn't penalise efforts on account of their few weak spots, no matter how grandiose they might be.In this case, I'm talking about the insufferable blandness of certain scenes and the performing injustice done to the character I considered to be the most intriguing of the five big ones - Olivia. I can only theorise about the mysteries surrounding her person and it's a dear shame that the otherwise lovely Sara Gadon didn't quite manage to rise up to her muse's height.Overall, Indignation may be suffering a mild case of technical malfunctions and a somewhat inflated sense of pretentious entitlement, however, it benefits tremendously from exceptional writing, memorable performances (seriously, Linda Emond, my heart!) and a unique, tailor-fashioned application of a story-telling craft rather difficult to master -- giving the viewer more detail by simply nudging our attention towards the things chosen to be left unsaid.Severely under-watched. For the genre-inclined, I would strongly suggest taking this for a spin.
