Jennifer here… I’m excited to tell you about an upcoming movie that you’ll want to watch. I’m passionate about all types and formats of storytelling, so I love sharing book titles and new movies for you to enjoy. Thanks to Roadside Attractions for sponsoring this post and giveaway.
In recent years, I’ve taken to seeing movies by myself on occasion. This is the kind of movie I always enjoy and often see alone because my friends and family do not necessarily enjoy the independent film genre. I do, and I have also figured out that I enjoy a movie on the big screen so much more than at home, so I try to make it happen.
I’m also a sucker for a coming of age movie — or any book or movie where a character grows — and it looks like that, too. A little romance always hits the spot as well.
These kinds of reviews confirmed it:
- “Extraordinary. A Timeless tale of lost love and innocence.” /Film
- “Tremendous.” New York Times
- “A Star-making performance by Logan Lerman.” Vanity Fair
- 80% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes

Based on Philip Roth’s late novel, Indignation takes place in 1951, as Marcus Messner (Logan Lerman), a brilliant working class Jewish boy from Newark, New Jersey, travels on scholarship to a small, conservative college in Ohio, thus exempting him from being drafted into the Korean War. But once there, Marcus’s growing infatuation with his beautiful classmate Olivia Hutton (Sarah Gadon), and his clashes with the college’s imposing Dean, Hawes Caudwell (Tracy Letts), put his and his family’s best laid plans to the ultimate test.
Cast: Logan Lerman, Sarah Gadon, Tracy Letts, Linda Emond, Danny Burstein, Ben, Rosenfield, Pico Alexander, Philip Ettinger, Noah Robbins
Based on the novel by Philip Roth
Written for the Screen and Directed by James Schamus
