Zadie Smith Daily Telegraph (UK) Jan 17, 2018
It's that breed of verbal swordplay that so impresses on stage while seeming so redundant and brittle on screen. Go to Full Review
Victoria Segal New Statesman Sep 26, 2017
... Proof seems like no more than a fraction of a cinematic experience, a string of emotional calculations that fails to provide a satisfying solution. Go to Full Review
Scott Tobias AV Club Nov 25, 2006
Madden stages the action with a minimum of imagination and gets a career-worst performance out of Davis in a key role, but the material still sputters to life on the strength of the writing and Paltrow's commitment to the part. Go to Full Review

An unlovely film about an unlovely group of people. Go to Full Review

5/10
Proof is a smart film, but it tries too hard. It wears its heart on its sleeve, and the pathos becomes a bit much because there is little to balance it out. Go to Full Review
Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Aug 20, 2010
A limp, and utterly pointless melodrama that's never as intelligent as it thinks. Go to Full Review

Ron R Apr 3, 2018 Good story. Unfortunately both sister characters are unlikeable, making almost every scene unpleasant to watch.
Oct 4, 2017 Lovely story!, Gwyneth Kate Paltrow's acting was really good ...
