Plot
The film is based on the life of a passionate middle-aged dancer, Tobi who is now a ballet coach at a school in New York City. One day he got a call that he was chosen for an interview and may have a chance to contribute towards preparing a thesis on the dance committee in the historical era of the 1960s. Tobi saw this as a golden chance to boost his career and agreed to attend the interview. The interview is conducted by husband Mike and wife Lisa. As the interview proceeded, Tobi felt that the questions were getting more personal. In the end Mike finally reveals that they are not preparing any thesis instead, he has called Tobi because he suspects Tobi to be his biological father. Tobi immediately denied the blame and asked him where he got to know about this. On this, Mike replied that his mother indicated his name on the deathbed. Even after continuous denial of Tobi, Mike outraged in anger forcefully took a DNA sample of Tobi to get it tested in the lab. Is Tobi Mike’s father? If yes, then why is Tobi lying? The rest of the movie reveals the secret.
Star Performance
The actors have given enough convincing performances on the screen that they don’t feel detract from the film. Some of the directional choices also seem weird and carelessly done, which could have been better. But above everything, the movie is still classic, and enjoyable to watch.
Analysis
Match is a delightful, classic, and highly artistic presentation of an arm imitating life. But the plot seems a little dull as we proceed and the ending the movie provides is also not satisfactory as well. A significant issue with the film is that the script is rogue, leaving loose ends all over and bore us on the way to a lacklustre ending. But the intense emotion that the movie conveys for art, like dance is appreciable. Not only that, the film also makes you aware of the importance and responsibilities of a relationship combined with some good literature. The movie beautifully and aesthetically portrays the message on personal constructs with, very decent and non-revealing scenes.
