Proof (2005)

The daughter of a brilliant but mentally disturbed mathematician, recently deceased, tries to come to grips with her possible inheritance: his insanity.
There are many kinds of insanity, but the makers of this movie chose the enervating kind; and don't expect to learn anything about mathematics, they didn't either.

Maltin***: "David Auburn's challenging, provocative, and cerebral play (a Pulitzer Prize winner) is well translated to film by director Madden, with fine performances all around."
