Critic Reviews

An extraordinary thriller... The film centers on two remarkable performances, by Gwyneth Paltrow and Hope Davis.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

The material is intellectual, but the treatment is not. Proof is a stirring motion picture that challenges our views on a great many things about life, some of which we take for granted. And, by opening up the play, Madden has made it less talky and more cinematic without losing the quintessential elements that made it such a success on stage.Full Review

James Berardinelli
ReelViews

But despite less-than-ideal casting of the male roles, and a tendency to soften the Pulitzer Prize-winning work's thorny humor with a more sober tone, director John Madden has woven together an elegant, intelligent drama of a breed increasingly rare in mainstream American movies.Full Review
