3/5

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

2/4

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

3.5/5

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.

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

5/5

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.

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.

Patrick Stewart is the whole show in this adaptation of the stage hit.

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.

Patrick Stewart's acting is bad 3/4 of the time, very bad a lot of that 3/4 and that is what this movie is relying on for it to have any hope of being good.

Patrick Stewart is fantastic. it would be great to see the theatrical play version.

This screen adaptation of Stephen Belber's play is a tour de force for Patrick Stewart. A young couple comes to NYC from Texas to see a ballet teacher at Juilliard to be interviewed for an article about dance. Everything changes. No spoilers, here. A riveting film about truth and humanity is riveting.
