Proof
Gwyneth Paltrow revives her stage performance for the big screen.
Plot
Reeling from her mathematician father’s death, Catherine (Gwyneth Paltrow) gets involved with a student, Hal (Jake Gyllenhaal), and argues with her sister (Hope Davis), who fears for her mental health. When a genius mathematical proof is found in her father’s papers, Catherine is the subject of accusations and finds it hard to prove her sanity.
Verdict
A subtle, slow-burning mystery that does justice to its themes of identity, sanity and sacrifice.
