Confirmation

I hated the HBO movie, Confirmation, based on the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings. Although it's possibly informative for people too young to remember these events, there is no new information or perspective, and there is not enough context. I thought they tried to hard to milk drama out of it, conflict behind the scenes in the senate etc. There were many long shots of the characters intended to convey inner conflict that I just thought were corny and empty.
