I loved this movie, thew acting really surprised, the acting really pulls in2 the movie even if you are lost at first and find it hard 2 follow, the acting is so worth watching. If you appreciate good acting, give this movie a shot.
Gwyneth Paltrow is nothing short of amazing, this should have been her oscar winning film not shakespeare in love.
Dysfunctional families are ten a penny in Hollywood films but somehow I'm always coming back for more. Gwyneth Paltrow owns this film, she's an utter triumph, the e...( read more)
Generally smart and very well-acted, but both the viewer and the filmmakers are confused by it. The filmmakers were not entirely sure about how best to tell or finish the story, and their confusion inevitably transfers to the audience.
now im glad i decided to bought this one, as i have no clue at all about this before i bought it, my only expectation that crossed in my mind was i need something light but not cheap to become my lullaby movie, so i take my chance with this because i think paltrow will provide th...( read more)
I bet math fanatics would really enjoy this. All said and done though I felt like it was really....... girly. Hmmmm. Maybe a bad description since I usually like romantic comedies but this one was really lame.
reminds me of "A Beautiful Mind" movie - great Math Prof. who becomes mentally unstable...
I loved every single bit of this film. Gwyneth Paltrow was so amazing in this movie (she's one of my favorite actresses). She's so talented in this movie.
Few movies regard the psyche with such sober discernment. full review
Somewhere in the translation from stage to screen, David Auburn's powerful Pulitzer Prize-winning play was transformed into a goopy Gwyneth Paltrow movie. full review
The story's emotional stakes are such a grab bag that it's difficult to feel much urgency about the outcome. full review
An extraordinary thriller about matters of scholarship and the heart, about the true authorship of a mathematical proof and the passions that coil around it. full review
Those who didn't see the theatrical production (myself among them) might be left wondering if the material looked this phony on stage. full review
Its themes of trust, the depth of filial responsibility and concerns about genetic inheritances are explored with depth and intelligence. full review
The trouble with Proof is that, however efficiently it completes its task, you have to ask whether the job was worth starting. full review
The sparks go out in John Madden's film version, with a script by Auburn and Rebecca Miller and starring a wan Gwyneth Paltrow. full review
(2005 Director: John Madden) Dazzling. Loved it! Nothing quite like the love between a Father and a daughter...I imagine lead actress Gwynneth Paltrow had a tear in her eye missing her own recently passed away father during the making of this film...Rented this one LAST year but thinking of my own dad iwho is illl presently.My closest oldest friend lost her father at a young age. Touching film...Anthony Hopkin delivers his best performance. Why is it the British can act soooo welll?? Is it the Shakespeare start?Flixster - Share Movies
A Prova seria um filme muito melhor não fosse sua falta de ritmo em algumas passagens, e sua incapacidade de fugir do ar totalmente teatral de outras (há sequências que soam críveis apenas em palco). E falando de um filme cujos personagens nutrem uma paixão pela matemática, pouco se vê sobre o assunto. Seria um ponto positivo por exemplo, entender por quê Catherine ama tanto a matéria, além do motivo óbvio de ter um pai matemático.
Excluindo esse fator, é inegável que A Prova se revela um filme de relativa força, e que explora muito bem a história de uma jovem mulher confrontando dramas de família à medida em que ganha força para seguir em frente em um mundo repleto de possibilidades. No fim o que vemos é uma obra delicada sobre relacionamentos e que claro, rende uma bela experiência.
I don't normally go for Gwyneth Paltrows acting, but this was really good.
They did quite well with the math in it, and still kept up the emotions through out the film.
Not to depressing, but just real enough.
