	Author	Review
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"Wildly inventive on a micro-budget scale (...) An impressively crafted feature that’s full of frequent surprises."	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"The idiosyncrasy and resourcefulness are impressive, even inspiring to a point. But at 80-odd minutes, the self-conscious novelty begins to seem stretched, enough so that you notice this clever conceit is never particularly funny or meaningful"	NEU
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"While the dramatic underpinnings could have used more work, the labyrinth that’s the focus of 'Dave Made a Maze' is truly an amazingly inventive sight to behold (...) Boxed in by its own design."	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"The all-live action section of this movie is lit and shot almost exactly like an episode of 'The Adventures of Pete and Pete' (...) a children’s show (...) I was wondering who exactly this movie was made for (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Chicago Sun-Times	"'Weird' is one word for it, and it certainly applies. But so does 'creative', 'inventive', 'compelling' and, finally, 'good' (...) It’s all gloriously goofy (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Chris Packham LA Weekly	"The film is deceptively cute (...) but its heart is dark (...) Watterson builds a movie that's genuinely bigger on the inside."	POS
