"   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs B "Intelligent and well-realized but lacking much of an emotional charge."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "Aided immeasurably by Paltrow's ace performance, it's the poignantly-felt human drama and delicate relationships in Proof that make the film a worthwhile experience."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman B "'Proof' is brilliant enough as a play that even if you only capture SOME of the genius on film, as John Madden has done, you're still left with a pretty good movie."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/4 "The film version is a powerful adaptation with fiery performances, plenty to decipher and enough yelling to give anyone’s brain an ache."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress "Timid staging faithful adaptation = no cinema"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce A- "A thoughtful, intelligent film about brilliant but troubled people...works on both an intellectual and an emotional level."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "Hits the mark as an exploration of a woman who gives away her gold to others and must find a way to acknowledge her own genius."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3.5/4 "Proof is a stirring motion picture that challenges our views on a great many things about life, some of which we take for granted."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli '3.5/4' "The graceful discipline of math theory sits in stark contrast to the ugly realities of dementia, a collective contrast crackling with melodramatic vigor."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 5/10 "A cozy, middlebrow production putting an acting spotlight on Paltrow, surrounded by an unchallenged Hopkins and Jake Gyllenhaal as a liberating love-interest spirit."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen 6/10 "...the story reveals a lot less substance than there appears to be."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 2.5/4 "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."   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 2.5/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 4.5/5 "It's a quiet kind of triumph. I know no one saw it but I hope more people will."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.0/4.0 "... (Proof) pushes the story beyond a mere romantic entanglement... into one of finding (one's) direction and the confidence to pursue it..."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 2.5/5 "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."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr B- "..hasn't shaken the feel of its floorboards, [but Auburn's] characters still come alive with complex relationships that hang in the balance of every exchange of his words."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford B "Paltrow’s inward performance is of a piece with her stunning work as Sylvia Plath in the biopic Sylvia."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer 7/10 "Paltrow overcomes her ingenue actress image and does a good job with a role of a deeply troubled and perhaps brilliant woman, the daughter of a schizophrenic mathematician who was one of the great lights of modern mathematics."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 5/5 "Paltrow gives the performance of the year, and perhaps of her career."   Film Threat   Phil Hall 3.5/5 "Despite a stage-bound script, this story of family politics and mathematical genius is intriguing and fairly involving"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 1.5/5 "Proof can’t conjure a single legitimate thread, or an emotion to back it up."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 8/10 "Astonishingly intelligent, richly compelling drama, exploring the thin line between insanity and genius."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 1.5/4 "Judging by how it provides its cast with showy moments amidst the sweet little oblique nothings, I'm guessing that Proof is mostly about winning awards."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 3/5 Read review   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi  (1 - 31) of 31 OFCS Rating: 71% Fresh Page   1
