The Confirmation (2016 Bob Nelson & scr)

He also wrote Nebraska - his only other feature, unfortunately. A sort of update of Bicycle Thieves, down-on-luck carpenter and alcoholic Clive Owen (looking suitably weathered) spends the weekend with his estranged son Jaeden Lieberher (Aloha, Midnight Special, The Book of Henry, St. Vincent) - together they go in search of his missing tools, and the boy starts breaking all his Catholic values. We really enjoyed it.

Good cast supported by Maria Bello, Stephen Tobolowsky, Spencer Drever (other boy), Tim Blake Nelson, Robert Forster and Patton Oswalt (The Circle, lots of TV).

Shot by Terry Stacey in Vancouver.
