Intense and compelling, Proof is an absorbing film that shows the intricacies of the human mind are as complex as a mathematical equation.

As a story about personal and family dysfunction, and about coming to terms with life's uncertainties, Proof isn't bad.

Top Critic Proof is something of a puzzle, an all-star drama that has the feel of a Sunday afternoon film. Think curiosity, not must see.

Sure, the play won the Pulitzer Prize, but that doesn't mean it makes a great film, in my opinion. Maybe it just works better on the stage.

Top Critic A masterpiece before it reached the screen and maybe the highest praise that can be offered in celebration of this film version is that it remains one.
02/07/06
For patient viewers, it does offer a carefully considered and ultimately inspiring examination of how the need for order and logic is less important than a willingness to embrace chaos.

It's a quiet kind of triumph. I know no one saw it but I hope more people will.

The argument Proof makes in its cool, sophisticated way is that sometimes it is difficult to clarify the line between insane individual and insane genius.
01/04/06
Madden does a competent job transferring the film from stage to screen.
