MCT:August 4, 2008It's not just another Jake movie, but a movie about suspicions, trust and mathematics. I really loved Gwyneth Paltrow in it and the way she portrayed a math genius.

Incredible. Paltrow gives her best and possibly one of the best best ever performances I have seen. Its amazing and terribly underrated.
-
MCT:July 25, 2008Jake Gyllenhaal always manages to be so cute and innocent and childish. I love watching him play any role.
-
MCT:July 16, 2008this was a lot better than i expected it to be! though they were understandingly added to the film for clarity and cohesion i didn't like many of the flashbacks, they seemed quite clunky. nonetheless the acting prevailed, paltrow proves to be a fantastic dramatic actress, davis and hopkins performing well too. -
MCT:July 3, 2008This was a very well acted movie, and the script could have been worse, but the screen writers didn't give these amazing actors a whole lot to work with. It was a let down to me, but not due to the acting.
If you liked "A Beautiful Mind" you will Not like this movie! -

I liked it, it was different but good....Gwyneth did an amazing job and for that I give this 4 stars.

I think this is a wonderfully told story about someone trying to deal with the fact that they have a special gift. It also shows how people can help other gifts are harm them.

Gwyneth Paltrow's best performance of her career - she should of been nominated for an Oscar for this! The movie itself was brilliant.

Deep! It makes you think about what else you inherit from your parents, besides the colour of their eyes, hair and skin. Do you inherit their mental stability or instability?

A film about math genius....but where's the math?!?! Many aspects of this story I 've seen on screen before. It was
intresting but could have been much much better. -
MCT:May 6, 2008
this movie's about a discontented genius and something she had to prove..
the conflict about trust, and proof. -

this movie is in a whole other quadrant of movies that i have ever seen.
i thought that the beginning was funny at some parts, like how she calls the police on hal.
through out most of the movie it is depressing how katie is so out of things. i do understand though it's partially because of her dad passing away.
in the beginning when she's having her first flashback hal looks like a total geek/nerd. but then of course he's changed the way he looks since.
Katie must have had some craziness in her if she was seeing her father and talking to him, since he was dead.
after just a few minutes claire started to get annoying. even though she was just trying to make things better for her sister.
but in a way im like her. for one, we have the same name, coinicidently, and two she makes list just as i do. but she doesn't do them on recycled paper! and she also nags her sister, but i would say a little too much. im kind of bossy and naggy but most of the time i do know when i should stop and not push it. i do like new york like she does.
i think that some day i would love to learn all or try learning some of those math skills that they knew. i know how to do proofs but not nearly as complex or adavanced as the ones in the movie!
i wonder what it would be like to be that smart! its almost like insane how people can comprehend all of those skills.
gwyneth paltrows character was interesting. i do like how she was mostly carless about her looks and how she diddnt wear any make up (she probably actually was but they make it appear natural) except she was a little too skinny.her character didnt smile a complete smile through out the entire movie. well i didnt see one. her character was in a way mysterious, like hal said. but i do think that gwyneth played the part great because to me that seems like it would be a tough part to play; someone who was phyically and mentally detatched from a lot of things.
jake gyllenhaal is nothing what i thought that he would be. he talks different (im really not sure what i expected him to talk like but different than how he does) im not sure if it is the way he acts or if it was the screenplay that caused his character to talk in small phrases. some of the things sould like things kids in elementry school say. (not to be rude) or it just could be that this part wasnt exactly fit for him and his other movies are. i would have to see a few more of his movies to be able to tell. i know that he got an oscar nomination for brokeback mountain, so he has to be a pretty well accomplished actor to do so.
the movie all-around was pretty good.the part i like about it the best was the math that was involved. because i know that if i had a family member close to that smart or just as smart, i would take absolute full advantage of it! -

Wow, such an intense movie. THere seemed to be less and less air in the room the longer it played. What an amazing talent for capturing the characters!

Not sure what to say about this movie, it's pretty interesting in it's very own mixed up way. This one combines both past and present, and it revolves around a supposedly mentally challenged father (Anthony Hopkins) who was a brilliant mathematician and his daughter (Gwyneth Paltrow) who aparently inherits his mathematical skills and passion for the numbers. Just add Jake Gyllenhaal to the story and you get this very entertaining movie. ENJOY

I love this movie. The time flies by when you're watcing it. I really like how they mess around with time and show the parallels bertween what happened during the different periods of time.
-
MCT:March 14, 2008
Generally smart and very well-acted, but both the viewer and the filmmakers are confused by it. The filmmakers were not entirely sure about how best to tell or finish the story, and their confusion inevitably transfers to the audience.
-
MCT:March 12, 2008This movie is missing some very important proofs. It held promise throughout to be a good movie, but it never delivered anything worth really talking about.

(2005 Director: John Madden) Dazzling. Loved it! Nothing quite like the love between a Father and a daughter...I imagine lead actress Gwynneth Paltrow had a tear in her eye missing her own recently passed away father during the making of this film...Rented this one LAST year but thinking of my own dad iwho is illl presently.My closest oldest friend lost her father at a young age. Touching film...

I thought it was ok. It wan't anything amazing or a movie you should go running to see. If you miss it, it wont be the worst thing in the world.

MCT:February 6, 2008
I'm sure that the book was way interesting than the movie, the only thing that made it worth to watch and believable, is Gwyneth and hopkins' acting. Gwyneth really displays some acting talents.

Don't let the good cast fool you into renting this movie. It's the dumbist movie I have seen in a long time, next to Epic Movie.

A Prova seria um filme muito melhor não fosse sua falta de ritmo em algumas passagens, e sua incapacidade de fugir do ar totalmente teatral de outras (há sequências que soam críveis apenas em palco). E falando de um filme cujos personagens nutrem uma paixão pela matemática, pouco se vê sobre o assunto. Seria um ponto positivo por exemplo, entender por quê Catherine ama tanto a matéria, além do motivo óbvio de ter um pai matemático.
Excluindo esse fator, é inegável que A Prova se revela um filme de relativa força, e que explora muito bem a história de uma jovem mulher confrontando dramas de família à medida em que ganha força para seguir em frente em um mundo repleto de possibilidades. No fim o que vemos é uma obra delicada sobre relacionamentos e que claro, rende uma bela experiência.posted 347 days ago -
I don't normally go for Gwyneth Paltrows acting, but this was really good.
They did quite well with the math in it, and still kept up the emotions through out the film.
Not to depressing, but just real enough.posted 485 days ago
