Movie Reviews of Proof
Movie Review: Clever and insightful little tale.
Summary: 5 Stars
Proof starring the gifted Gwyneth Paltrow is extraordinary. The film is directed by John Madden who also directed Paltrow in her oscar-winning performance, Shakespeare in Love. Proof also stars the legendary actor, Anthony Hopkins, Jake Gyllenhall and Hope Davis. They all play a vital role involving Paltrow's character who feels she is insane like her deceased math genius father (Hopkins). Her character struggles for sanity after the death of her much-respected father. Gyllenhaal's character is a former student of Hopkins and Davis plays Paltow's older sister. I like the ending, how the credits start to flow across the screen before the last scene is even done. Intelligent, low-key film. Check it out some time.Movie Review: A More Beautiful Mind
Summary: 5 Stars
Truly a must see, especially for any father of a child more brilliant than himself, whether either is insane or not. Touches very sensitively on the mutually developmental parent-child relationship; and the difficulty of loving a parent, watching that parent erode, and knowing, with both sorrow and joy, that the child will surpass the father's loftiest accomplishments. Beautifully nuanced performance by Gwyneth Paltrow (Gyllenhall and Hopkins are good, too, but Paltrow is the show). Taken together with her appearances in "Bounce," "Emma," "Sylvia,"and "Shakespeare in Love," among many others, this provides strong evidence that she is one of the best actresses ever.Movie Review: moving and true to life
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who has ever been a caregiver to a family member who was chronically ill or suffering from a fatal disease and then lost them to that illness or some other health condition can really appreciate and identify with this movie. I loved Gwenyth's portrayal of a daughter that loved her father so much that she felt it was her responsibility to take care of him even though she was sacrificing her own life. The story was right on the money as far as being how those situations go sometimes in life. The sister who came into town for the funeral and tried to be bossy and pushy was also very true to life. This is a good movie and I recommend it highly.Movie Review: appreciate it for the writing.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's interesting that most people tend to have a problem with the screenplay for this movie, when it is almost word for word the stage play, which is renowned for its elegance and simplicity. Perhaps the issue comes up in the flashbacks and the ending, both of which disagree with the play. Still, as a stage adaptation to film, Proof does the job beautifully. The characters remain true to their original 2-dimensionality; it is the apparent lack of emotion that actually lends itself to intense feelings from the viewer.Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
If you liked a beautiful mind you will like this movie - Paltrow is a young women suffering from the loss of her long time mentally ill and former genius father. She put her life on hold to care for him and never got to develop her own genius. She also fears that she is becoming mentally unstable like her father - Personally I just thought she needed a vacation and some therapy. Paltrow is very convincing though I thought Gyllenhaal's character was not as convincing. You will like this movie.
