Proof
Claudia PuigProof proves undeniably that the intimacy of a stage play can be re-created powerfully on screen.
Playwright David Auburn adapted his theatrical production, and John Madden, who directed the play in London, is at the helm here, which no doubt contributed to the success of the movie.
The story focuses on four characters, and all four actors give strong performances. But the standout is Gwyneth Paltrow's emotional rendering of Catherine, the dedicated daughter of Robert, a mentally unbalanced mathematician (Anthony Hopkins).
In her best performance to date, Paltrow embodies the complex and vulnerable Catherine, a loving daughter who, like her father, has a brilliant mind and an occasionally troubled psyche. Theirs is a singularly symbioti...
Proof
David RooneyConstructed with the artful mathematical precision that dances through the unstable but gifted minds of its father-and-daughter protagonists, David Auburn's Proof -- perhaps inevitably -- was more beguiling and intimate on stage than on screen. But despite less-than-ideal casting of the male roles, and a tendency to soften the Pulitzer Prize-winning work's thorny humor with a more sober tone, director John Madden has woven together an elegant, intelligent drama of a breed increasingly rare in mainstream American movies. Whether or not a significant audience exists for it will depend greatly on awards season attention, likely to center on femme stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Hope Davis.

In depth life
Wow, what a film.
This is not a light and easy film it is much more in depth than the average. I can imagine if you like to be entertained by easy going films, then this will not suit. The acting is, as you would expect with the cast, excellent.
Although it is about a Proof, there is little math in the film. The subject matter is really about relationship, family and love. A classically directed film from a play, that relies on its subject matter and not fantastic effects or myths to thrill the viewer.
