Match Reviews
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
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.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
One of the great delights of low-budget indies like "Match" is the freedom they offer high-wattage stars like Patrick Stewart, who gets to chew some serious scenery here.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Stepping into a role played onstage by Frank Langella - opposite Ray Liotta's Mike - Stewart plumbs the soul of a man comfortable in his own skin despite some huge regrets about his past.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Onscreen, the material seems contrived and thin. What must have been an electrifying clash of personalities onstage is over the top on film.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
When a play is adapted for the screen, too often you can see the stitches.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
Drama is driven by conflict, but in this particular case it's the calm between the storms that captivates.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
This is hardly a world-shaker of a movie but it is a well-constructed and thoughtful character study brought to vivid life by its players.
The Dissolve
Keith Phipps
Stewart claims the part as his own. He's charming by nature, then by design, as charm becomes a defensive weapon.
Slant Magazine
Abhimanyu Das
Patrick Stewart's performance is practically an argument for Belber to jettison everything else and take the actor on the road as a one-man spoken-word act.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Belber sometimes strains credulity to keep the characters together until the end, but Stewart carries the story to its conclusion with a performance ranging from the fierce to the tender.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Zwecker
This small film (virtually all of it filmed in Tobi's New York apartment) is a real gem.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
The stereotypical fruitiness burns off in the course of the film's revelations, exposing a hoarse, broken, lonely man, and Stewart hits notes of grief I've never heard from him before.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Too quickly "Match" rips the mask off to reveal its simple and sour moral melodrama about libertine artists and life choices, and suddenly the whole thing's hoofing and the sweat stains show.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
The movie pulls the rug out from under the audience several times, but in the end there is not much underneath.
Village Voice
Chris Packham
Writer-director Stephen Belber's inspiriting, generous Match is so good that it's like some kind of trick.
Variety
Peter Debruge
The pleasure of watching Patrick Stewart navigate his first juicy gay character since Jeffrey propels Stephen Belber's otherwise play-it-straight Match.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
While it offers some provocative moral quandaries, it serves mostly as a showcase for Patrick Stewart, playing a Juilliard dance teacher whose past has come back to haunt him.
Common Sense Media
S. Jhoanna Robledo
Uneven drama about family secrets has swearing, drinking.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The middle section ... is so strong -- looking past the melodrama to the hurt, lonely people underneath it -- that it's unfortunate Belber hurries the resolution...

Kirk Honeycutt
Adapting his play Stephen Belber clings to the intensity theater delivers along with the intimacy a camera affords.
