Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
This is a smart, effective coming-of-age tale about a boy figuring out that there are gray areas to life's moral choices.
Nelson ties perhaps too neat of a bow on the proceedings, but there's no denying the warmth and amiable spirit of "The Confirmation."
The pleasures are modest but rewarding in Bob Nelson's character study "The Confirmation."
The Confirmation is a powerful directorial debut from 59-year-old writer Bob Nelson, who received an Oscar nomination for his first screenplay, Nebraska.
