Description

In 'The Confirmation,' Anthony is on the fence about spending time with his hapless, alcoholic father. Equally unsure of their upcoming time together, Walt, a freelance carpenter, picks up his son for what he assumes to be a calm weekend while his ex-wife and her new husband go off on a Catholic marriage-counseling retreat.

Starring Clive Owen and Jaeden Lieberher, the father-son story was written and directed by Bob Nelson, best known for his Oscar-nominated screenplay, 'Nebraska.'

Much like the acclaimed 2013 film, 'The Confirmation' also has an all-star cast of side characters including Maria Bello, Patton Oswalt, Stephen Tobolowsky, Tim Blake Nelson, and Robert Forster.
