TI H DAVE MADE A MAZE out of cardboard in his living room. It’s much, much, much bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, so much bigger that Dave and all his friends get lost inside. Therein, they dodge booby-traps while being hunted by a cardboard minotaur who attacks with real violence, although all the “blood and gore” is represented by confetti. (Literally. Confetti.) This movie feels like Romper Room meets Cube. The actors remind me of the Monkees from the 1960s, always half-aware that they’re in a movie and perfectly stoic about events that would drive the average person bonkers. It’s like none of the principal characters are taking the movie seriously, which amounts to a wonderful comedic effect. Sadly, this gimmick doesn't hold up the entire movie. This should have been a short film in an anthology. It didn’t deserve eighty minutes of screen time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Tyler G "Dave made a maze" is one of the weirdest and most creative films I've watched in a while. It is clear how versatile paper, cardboard, and the medium can be. I can appreciate how the film maker utilized paper to its utmost, and every scene was quite different. The room with multiple visual ploys, like the photo on the wall/attached to the side of the camera was wonderful. The different outfits made of paper, while Dave and his girlfriend had variations of the same conversation sat with me as well. These were unbelievably well made scenes, and the story was fun to watch. I am very surprised by this movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Taylor I This movie was so much fun to watch. It's silly, it's wildly creative, and the set design is so enjoyable and interesting. This movie was wildly enjoyable for so many different reasons, and I cannot recommend it enough. I don't want to say much more for fear of ruining any of it! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Mayana L This is the perfect movie. I will die on that cardboard box. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Thom G The great thing about Dave Made a Maze is that from the start, it fully embraces its own universe and offbeat humor, resulting in a surprisingly engaging, fun, and creative experience. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review Brennan M This feels like a perfect metaphor -- incomplete, soft, complex, rich, and childlike all at once. Something to chew on for a long time. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
