Its identifiable execution and unbelievably awesome inventive nature makes Bill Watterson's debut an adventurous quest with quirky humor that is well-worth diving into a life-threatening cardboard contraption.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 2, 2019

The film speaks to how an artist's work loses its authorship becoming part of a larger community, as well as the at times dangerous power of an unfocused creative mind.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 3, 2019

Dave Made a Maze is likely to find an audience with lovers of offbeat and cult cinema. Like the maze itself, the film looks curious and strange at first glance, but once you're in it, there are unexpected depths.

Dave Made a Maze is an hour and a half of light-hearted fun, revelling in the whimsy of the mundane and celebrating the adventures that cement friendships and memories.

Dave does indeed make a maze - and what a maze it is.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 26, 2018

Dave Made a Maze is a bizarrely perfect blend of horror and whimsy. It is almost as if we enter an alternate universe where Jim Henson makes horror films. The gorgeous sets and fantastical creatures create a beautiful new world.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Nov 2, 2018

Cute, small, slight, a fantasy-comedy more concerned with being glibly endearing than laugh-out-loud funny.

| Original Score: 3 | Oct 31, 2018

Dave Made A Maze has its issues, but it should still be seen by anybody who wants to see a live-action movie for grownups do something new.

| Original Score: B | Aug 28, 2018

The premise is very out there, but once you embrace the insanity, you're in for a whirlwind tour of some very imaginative filmmakers.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 24, 2018

The very concept of Dave Made a Maze is completely ridiculous, and it's by fully embracing this absurdity that its appeal shines bright.

I had never felt happier to be approaching senior citizenship.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 26, 2018
