Why the title "Match"?


Is "match" a ballet term or something? I can see that it refers to the test which is done in New Jersey (I'm not being specific so as to avoid spoilers) but overall does not seem an apt title for the film unless I'm overlooking some secondary meaning.

"Match" is not a ballet term, and I can only think of the one reason, to which you allude, for the word having resonance as the title. I suppose one could think of the usage having to do with games/sports, and think of all the interactions amongst the three leads (and even, possibly, the never seen character of Mike's late mother) as some kind of game or match, but that seems like a real stretch, and an unlikely, non-balletic one, at that.






Just make a movie that makes me care, one way or another. I'm open.

Thanks.
