22 Movies That Will Relieve Your Summer Blockbuster Fatigue

summer indie preview

After upping your eyeglass prescription to accommodate the swarm of CGI effects hurled around in just about every summer blockbuster, try taking it down a peg with a few smaller-scale movies. This summer's indie slate serves up several comedies (many revolving around sex), a few unconventional biopics (Brian Wilson! David Foster Wallace!) and some stirring documentaries that are well worth your time. Sadly, if you don't reside in a major city, there's a chance some of these films won't open at your nearest theater, but have no fear: Many come with On Demand release plans, and those that don't should be on your radar for future streaming purposes. With "Avengers: Age of Ultron" officially kicking off summer movie season this weekend, behold these 22 titles that will save your weary eyes from the next few months' potential $1 billion spectacles:
