Indignation

Terrific acting dominates this engaging, poignant, thought-provoking, realistic, 110-minuite film based on Philip Roth's 2008 novel in which the studious, sexually awkward, Jewish student (Logan Lerman) leaves his kosher butcher father (Danny Burstein) and unhappy mother (Linda Marie Emond) in Newark to attend a religious college in Ohio in 1951 to avoid serving in the Korean War and ends up falling in love with a free-spirited, emotionally troubled classmate (Sarah Gadon) and butting heads with the conservative dean (Tracy Letts).
