DAVE MADE A MAZE (2017)

This doesn't quite work as well as it should—the tone is uneven, the characterizations thin, and the editing sloppy—but it has marvelous production design, an endearing love of good old-fashioned cinematic illusion, and a handful of laugh-out-loud gags. It's hard for me not to be charmed by a film with this much creativity on display, despite the rough edges, and an especially inventive hallucinatory sequence near the film's conclusion strikes a genuine note of strange beauty—proof that Watterson can do more than just wacky hijinks.
