Written and directed by Oscar-nominee Bob Nelson,“Feature films these days rarely come as gentle and equitable as “The Confirmation.” It’s a sweet, decidedly low-key little picture starring a deftly understated Clive Owen as Walt, a divorced small-town carpenter spending a pivotal few days with his 8-year-old son, Anthony (a wonderful Jaeden Lieberher). When Walt’s ex-wife Bonnie (Maria Bello) takes a weekend trip with her new husband (Matthew Modine), Walt’s put in charge of Anthony, a sensible kid with more moxie than his Catholic-school rearing may first imply. Walt and Anthony soon find themselves on a treasure hunt of sorts when Walt’s beloved set of tools is stolen just as he’s about to start a much-needed new job.” -Los Angeles Times
