    Confirmation could have used a lot less C-SPAN and a lot more theater.

    Confirmation isn’t particularly illuminating except for viewers with no recollection of the events. Confirmation is still a worthwhile film packed with impressive performances. Washington is perfectly cast as Hill, though there’s considerable irony in watching her go up against the White House that employed Judy Smith (Kristen Ariza), the inspiration for Washington’s star-making role on Scandal, as its crisis manager.

    Confirmation, like those hearings, settles nothing. The film’s coda suggests the country has come a long way. That, along with everything else here, will give viewers plenty to talk about.
