Confirmation

IT ONLY TAKES ONE VOICE TO CHANGE HISTORY.

confirmationIn 1991, President Bush nominates Clarence Thomas (Wendell Pierce) for the Supreme Court, but a law professor (Kerry Washington) steps forward, claiming that Thomas sexually harassed her. The Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas controversy is an epic he said-she said story where we still donā€™t know which one of them lied. The film walks a fine line, clearly on Hillā€™s side but still refusing to paint Thomas as guilty, instead attacking the Senateā€™s proceedings at a time when it was still largely a boys club. That part is interesting, and itā€™s fun watching Greg Kinnear do an OK Biden imitation, but on the whole the film is a bit ineffectual.
