Review of Proof (2005) by Ashley T — 01 Mar 2009
An underrated drama/thriller that was completely overlooked by critics. Gwyneth Paltrow is phenomenal here as Katherine, the daughter of a once-brilliant mathetmatician (Anthony Hopkins), wrestling with the possibility that she might go crazy just like he did.
Hope Davis is the estranged sister who means well, but doesn't believe Katherine is the author of a genius piece of work found among their father's things, and Jake Gyllenhaal is the lovable geek caught up in everything, not sure what to think.
A powerful four-character piece both on stage and on film. You don't need to like or even understand numbers to enjoy it. A few technical terms are thrown around, but the real fun here is the intrigue and the relationships forged and broken down.
