The more I see Gwyneth's films, the more in awe I am of her versatility. There doesn't seem to be a type of role, or genre of film, in which she is miscast or over her head. "Proof" is another tour-de-force performance by Ms. Paltrow. Wow! The complexity of her character kept me sitting at the edge of my seat, with my hands clasped under my chin, literally, for the entire second half of the film. Gwyneth and Anthony Hopkins interacted very well together. Jake Gyllenhaal held his own as the math student, a positive complement to Gwyneth's increasingly depressed character. Hope Davis did a wonderful job as Gwyneth's well-meaning but out-of-touch sister in the film. Drama-lovers unite! This character-driven film is for you. Lots of emotion, riveting dialogue, and Oscar-caliber performances. Go see it!
