Patrick Stewart knocks it out of the park as a Juilliard School dance teacher forced to spill his biggest secrets in “Match,” which playwright Stephen Belber effectively directed and adapted from his own Broadway play.

Stewart’s flamboyant Tobi is nervous beforehand about being interviewed by Lisa (Carla Gugino), a Seattle woman purportedly doing a paper on the 1960s dance world.

Soon Tobi is being peppered with provocative questions about his sexual history by Lisa and her aggressive husband, Mike (Matthew Lillard), a police officer who, it turns out, was suspended for inappropriate use of force.

At first, Tobi resists. Then, after a shocking burst of violence, he turns the tables on his inquisitors.

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.

Though the film ventures outdoors occasionally, Belber capably choreographs the main confrontation in Tobi’s Inwood apartment.
