Full Plot Details

Eight year old Anthony is somewhat uneasy about spending the weekend with his alcoholic, down-on-his-luck carpenter dad Walt while his mom Bonnie and her new husband Kyle go to a Catholic retreat together. Walt is just as uneasy about spending time with Anthony, especially since their first day together is a series of characteristically unfortunate events, including his truck breaking down, his landlord locking him out of the house, and the theft of his toolbox, which he needs for an upcoming job. As Walt and Anthony set about finding the guy who stole the tools and improvise around their other misfortunes, they begin to discover a true connection with each other, causing Walt to become a better father and Anthony to reveal the promise and potential of the good man he will become.

Movie Reviews

AV Club - 9/10 by Adam NaymanThe Confirmation isn’t much to look at, and its rhythms are wobbly (the quest narrative starts to feel strained early on), but Nelson is a dogged enough dramatist that even the story’s resolutions—even the really pat and obvious ones—are satisfyingly earned.
New York Times - 9/10 by Andy WebsterThe pleasures are modest but rewarding in Bob Nelson’s character study The Confirmation.
Detroit News - 9/10 by Tom LongNelson ties perhaps too neat of a bow on the proceedings, but there's no denying the warmth and amiable spirit of "The Confirmation."
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Tirdad DerakhshaniThe Confirmation is a powerful directorial debut from 59-year-old writer Bob Nelson, who received an Oscar nomination for his first screenplay, Nebraska.
Deadline Hollywood Daily - 8/10 by Pete HammondWriter/director Bob Nelson nearly equals his own Oscar nominated script for Nebraska with this touching, funny and true father/son story with terrific turns from Clive Owen and Jaeden Lieberher.
Madison Movie - 8/10 by Rob ThomasAlthough they're separated by some 40 years in age, Owen and Lieberher are very similar actors. They have an unforced and intimate rapport together that fits Nelson's eloquent, no-nonsense writing and direction.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Edward DouglasThe storytelling here is weak, and the film never quite finds its footing either as comedy or drama.
Urban Cinefile - 8/10 by Andrew L. UrbanIt's amusing and endearing but rather flat dramatically
The Seattle Times - 8/10 by Soren AndersenA surprisingly sweet-spirited picture about a man’s redemption and a boy’s initiation into the ways of the world.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 8/10 by Colin CovertIt's a film about a man who values a skill of careful, solid hand-crafting that's almost forgotten. That's what this low-key, character-driven family film is, too.
