CGiii Comment

The film of the play...a play that, by the end, goes nowhere.

The film is exactly the same - a three-way conversation - with peaks and troughs - amid the soul-searching and revelatory truths...well, there really is only one revelation and it's not exactly an exploding powder keg of earth-shattering proportions.

Patrick Stewart is the only reason to watch this...he does the aging flamboyant rather well.

Pity, the director resisted the temptation to let him fly with the part - the film needed some camp exuberance, more energy...and, a major re-write.

It's wordy, it's static...it has its moments...but, they are too few and far between.

Shame...it could have been something special.

The(ir) Blurb...

Tobi Powell (Patrick Stewart), an aging Juilliard dance professor with a colorful and international past, is interviewed by a woman and her husband (Carla Gugino & Matthew Lillard) for a dissertation she's writing about the history of dance in New York in the 1960's. As the interview proceeds, it becomes increasingly clear that there are ulterior motives to the couple's visit. Explosive revelation is followed by questions about truth versus belief. MATCH is a story about responsibility, artistic commitment...and love.
