Every now and then, I go on a movie-watching binge. Last week was one of them, and Proof is one of the movies I watched.

Character-driven drama with romance and intrigue. Just what I like. A fascinating exploration of what counts as proof. And I loved the chemistry between the characters played by Gwyneth Paltrow and Jake Gyllenhaal.

It even made me a little nostalgic for academia, even though math is definitely not my field. It’s been a while since I felt that. Anyway, it’s worth a watch if you like character-driven stories. Or Jake Gyllenhaal.
