Logan Lerman is a solid actor in this. In fact, I'd go so far and say that he is pretty great in this. However, his character of Marcus can be so unbearably arrogant, that watching this movie can be seen as a test of patience of putting up with him. There's a lot of ideas and themes thrown into this movie, and like the title suggests, somebody gets very indignant multiple times in this. I'm sure you can guess who. That defining characteristic of Marcus propels this movie into plot turns that only escalates to it's eventual conclusion.
There are some good exposition of what it's like being a Jew in the 1950s that's attending a heavily Christian local college. The cultural and historical exploration is fascinating. There's some coming of age stuff that's nice. The character of Olivia as played by Sarah Gadon adds a good sense of unpredictability to the story. Plus all the amazing scenes between Lerman and Tracy Letts alone are worth the price of admission.
This story may not be for everybody's taste, but it's definitely thought provoking enough for those curious to check it out.
