In Chicago, on the day of her twenty-seventh birthday, Catherine receives her sister Claire from New York for the funeral of their father Robert, who passed away a couple of days before. Robert was a brilliant mathematician that became bughouse, and Catherine had lived with him for the last five years, inclusive quitting her studies in the faculty, and she is concerned about having inherited his insanity. The mathematician of the University of Chicago, Hal, is making a research in Robert's notebooks, trying to find any brilliant proof that Robert might have produced in one moment of lucidity.... When Hal has one nightstand with Catherine, she gives a notebook to him with the development of a unique mathematics theory that Catherine claims that she developed. Hal and Claire do not believe on her, until the truth is disclosed.

Proof proves undeniably that the intimacy of a stage play can be re-created powerfully on screen.
Playwright David Auburn adapted his theatrical production, and John Madden, who directed the play in London, is at the helm here, which no doubt contributed to the success of the movie.

Constructed with the artful mathematical precision that dances through the unstable but gifted minds of its father-and-daughter protagonists, David Auburn's Proof -- perhaps inevitably -- was more beguiling and intimate on stage than on screen.

Whether or not a significant audience exists for it will depend greatly on awards season attention, likely to center on femme stars Gwyneth Paltrow an...
This is not a light and easy film it is much more in depth than the average. I can imagine if you like to be entertained by easy going films, then this will not suit. The acting is, as you would expect with the cast, excellent.
