In 1951, a bright young Jewish student enters a college in Ohio, exempt from conscription into the Korean War by his enrolment. The strictures of college life prove a stern test compounded by family and romantic pressures.
'Indignation' is based on a novel by Philip Roth.
The film captures the period beautifully in its depiction of the struggle young adults face to stay true to their principles under the pressure external expectations.
★★★1/2
