Review of Match (2014) by Heather M — 08 Oct 2015
A couple interviews a choreographer, whose relation to them may be personal.
Patrick Stewart, known principally for his work in science fiction, is in fact an incredible actor. He is one of the last, best examples of gravitas, and yet in this film, he proves himself to be capable of profound vulnerability, deft comic charm, and disarming fortitude. His performance in this three-character comic drama is the glue that holds the whole thing together, and there are moments when the other two actors can barely catch up.
The story is fairly simple, and the plot unfolds predictably and even becomes a little maudlin by the end, but this is one film in which the journey truly is far more compelling than the destination.
Overall, Stewart's work in this indie gem is its most noteworthy attribute.
