Her well-meaning but pushy sister (Hope Davis) wants Catherine to move in with her so that Catherine can get her life back under her guidance. However, Catherine needs the support of Hal (Jake Gyllenhaal), one of her students. When Hal discovers a brilliant math thesis in Robert's papers, Catherine claims she wrote it.

Mathematics has a reputation for being dull and numb, but practitioners can become engrossed in proof like a work of art, at the risk of becoming unworldly. The word proof is used in two ways: on the one hand the mathematical proof, on the other hand the proof of handwriting. The academic mentality is realistically represented. You don't have to be a mathematician to follow. The explanation about the number 1729 is easy to calculate. The heavier theory is only briefly discussed. It would have been inspired by Riemann's hypothesis.

David Auburn's play has only four characters. John Madden and screenwriter Rebecca Miller kept the dialogue central, but opened it up by adding some side characters and some busier locations. The flashbacks with Anthony Hopkins have a grayer tint. Gwyneth Paltrow, who played the same role in the London production, portrays a talented but vulnerable character who suffers from the patronizing attitude of her surroundings and self-doubt. Jake Gyllenhaal may look too good to some, but a mathematician doesn't have to be ugly.

Bought at a thrift store for a small price. I don't think it's great, but it's not bad either. It's just a movie that I think is okay. The story managed to captivate me, the acting is good, but I don't think the execution is special. It made little impression on me. Catherine (Gwyneth Paltrow) is an interesting character to me. That also made the film more interesting to watch. A 6. 3*
