The Confirmation

Eight-year-old Anthony (Jaeden Lieberher) was uneasy about being left in the care of his alcoholic, underemployed carpenter dad Walt (Clive Owen) while his mom (Maria Bello) and stepfather (Matthew Modine) went on a weekend retreat. His anxiety proves justified after Walt’s prized toolbox gets lifted from the back of his truck--and father drags son along through their small town’s seamier side in a revelatory quest to get it back. Coming-of-age comedy-drama also stars Patton Oswalt, Tim Blake Nelson, Robert Forster, Stephen Tobolowsky. 88 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English, Spanish.
