Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
When a play is adapted for the screen, too often you can see the stitches.

fresh:
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.

fresh:
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.

fresh:
This small film (virtually all of it filmed in Tobi's New York apartment) is a real gem.
– Bill Zwecker,

rotten:
Onscreen, the material seems contrived and thin. What must have been an electrifying clash of personalities onstage is over the top on film.
