    Nasty little gem of a film.
  • July 18, 2007
    Hugo Weaving and Russell Crowe? Yes.
  • March 25, 2009
    Good Indie drama.
  • October 23, 2009
    October 2009 - It was quite brilliant. The story, the atmosphere of the movie and the light symbolism of the dialogues and events all were surprising from a movie I had not heard about.
  • October 16, 2009
    Not only is this one of the most interesting fictional stories I have ever seen brought to the screen, but it was Crowe's most worthwhile and unique role.

    This is a really great little drama featuring Hugo Weaving and a very young and dashing Russell Crowe. I was pleased with this film because the storyline is pretty original. There is nothing like a blind photographer, a hot dishwasher/cook, and an obssesed housekeeper when you wa...( read more)nt a bit of entertainment. The acting is pretty good in this movie, particularly from Weaving. This movie also brought me my new favprite movie quote...

    (During medical exam)
    Doctor: You've been blind all your life
    Martin: I know.
    Doctor: What were you doing driving a car?
    Martin: I forgot.

    A blind guy takes pictures as proof of life around him. He doesn't trust anyone, even his own mother while growing up. He befriends a restaurant worker (Crowe), who he entrusts to verbally describe the pictures for him. He eventually gets let down by those around him, but he ...( read more)learns an important lesson in the fallibility of mankind and true friendship.

    This was a touching movie with wonderful acting by Weaving, Crowe, and Picot. Not to heavy and not to light - just a poignant little film.
  • March 29, 2009
    A bizarre but superb drama on the emotional games three people play, wittily and pereceptively captured by novice writer-director Jocelyn Moorhouse and acted with total conviction and sympathy.
  • March 25, 2009
    Russel Crowe as a good guy? Who knew?
  • February 26, 2009
    Proof was powerful and richly developed. It stayed with me long after I left the theatre.
