Realistic portrayal of the Anita Hill allegation. 'Confirmation' keeps away from embellishing dramatization, which is how Hill appeared for the first time in front of all the people. It almost gives out documentary vibe, being organized into chronological order with references of media coverage and news clip in 1991. Famuyiwa did a great job of selecting and focusing on the most important aspects out of lengthy hearings. How Thomas played race card against sexual harrassement claim and how race affected the whole dynamics of the society are well-stated. The only emotional scene is at the end where Hill reads the letter from a woman who is going through the similar situation. All the compressed feelings burst out because the whole movie and Hill remain rational and even-tempered till that very moment. And it is the right moment to do so because the most important message from 'Confirmation' is women's solidarity.
