Review of Indignation (2016) by Norm D — 07 Feb 2017

If you're over 50 or 60, looking back, this adaptation will make you think - how can someone who looks so blissfully right be so deadly wrong and fulfill the impassioned warning of a father wanting better for his son.

A well done piece - although the scene with the Dean becomes excruciating and, really, from a film cutting standpoint, runs on beyond its effectiveness as a scene or sequence. This film is for a mature audience - not for its content but for its mature sophistication, as likely is the case with the Roth book.

Interesting that the aspect ratio for this picture was Storaro's Univisium 2.0:1. It's a good AR that should be more widely adopted in preference to the more common 2.35:1 or 1:85:1. Films don't live on the wide screen; they live on in near perpetuity on DVD, Bluray, & now stream on screens that are much closer to Univisium.
