Proof (DVD)

Proof (2005) starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Anthony Hopkins, Jake Gyllenhaal, Hope Davis. Paltrow plays Catherine, the daughter of a famed mathematician (Hopkins). The story focuses on her as she struggles with memories of her recently deceased father, along with doubts about her own sanity and her own talent as a mathematician. Fortunately, you don't have to know much about math to follow the story, which folds romance into the plot about a mathematical proof and the authenticity of its authorship. I found the movie watchable, but not riveting. Grade: B
