[ENG]

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.

The 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. (Adam Nayman, The A.V. Club) 

"The Confirmation" is about a boy and his dad finding each other and helping each other. Owen and young Lieberher have a great chemistry, evoking sympathy and, more important, empathy for the pair and their plight. (Robin Clifford, Reeling Reviews)
