a good Match

Sir Patrick Stewart takes on Frank Langella's role from the widely praised Stephan Belber play.  It's a perfect  role for Stewart's ability to portray authority, pedantry and condescension.  Tobias is an aging ballet star teaching in NYC.  He agrees to an interview by a woman researching the dance scene in the 70s.  Belber pulls out all the stops in his directing the cinematic rendering of his play.  The cast is sound [3 characters] and the setting is precious.  As ulterior motives emerge we are treated to three very different views on life, love, family, responsibility, gender roles and homophobia.  I just wish the denouement was not telegraphed so early.  The entire cast and the director attended the film and provided a Q&A following.
