Proof

I was first introduced to Auburn's "Proof" at the Prague City theater. The film is of course a more substantial perennial that we can return to at any time. It's charming to watch the dramatic construction of the text as handled by Madden and Paltrow, who have already proven their compatibility with each other in Shakespeare in Love. The subject matter is self-supporting, and the dialogues have good ideas and pace. Of the theatrical texts that have been adapted by Hollywood, Proof is one of the better ones. It is definitely worthy of your attention. (29/10/2016)

A superbly acted intimate drama about life values and mathematics. The only major flaw is the all too obvious "theatricality" of the source material. Otherwise, there is not much to criticise and it would be more appropriate to praise. A quality film that will engage even those untouched by mathematics. (21/05/2007)

This movie didn't really captivate me. The performances are good, but the whole plot is nothing special. Yes, there are moments that are good, but overall it didn't sit well with me. Jake definitely wasn't used as he deserved, and the whole thing relies on Gwyneth, who didn't really impress me that much. Most of all, the script didn't sit well with me. (16/12/2014)
