A married couple's (Carla Gugino, Matthew Lillard) conversation with a renowned dance instructor (Patrick Stewart) about his experiences during the 1960s New York dance scene becomes increasingly personal.

Independent (UK)

Match's slightly wooden trajectory is compensated for by Patrick Stewart's compelling performance as the brash, outwardly confident but fundamentally lonely Tobi.

Rated: 3/5

When a play is adapted for the screen, too often you can see the stitches.

It's great fun to watch Patrick Stewart in "Match," seeming to chew scenery (and actually doing so from time to time) but offering something else underneath.

Rated: 3.5/5

When you have Patrick Stewart talking about his free-loving days back in the sixties, you're off to a positive start.

Stewart's performance here is Electric; an in your face and no-holes-bared tour-de-force which gives us a full frontal look into his characters psyche; however some may find it overplayed at times it is a delight to watch none the less.

Rated: 5/5

Few things are more entertaining than Stewart playing to the cheap seats, and since most of us will probably never get to see him in a live performance, Match may be the next best thing.

I never checked the time once. A high compliment from me. I watched this movie years ago, when it came out, and now a second time, and stands the test of time. Pretty much a masterpiece.

It was an out of the box drama that felt like a theater play. The cast and the performances were quite good obviously but there wasn't much going on so it got boring really fast.

This movie started out slow because it's a play adapted to film but it's worth the time investment. It gave us a lot to think about and a few great quotes. I was pleasantly surprised by it.

I watched this for the dancing (of which there wasn't any), but was drawn in by the frankness of the dialogue. It's a very small cast, but each has their own depth that keeps things interesting.
