Maze review
March 16, 2010 | |
Yet Complex came and went quickly in a restrictive unnatural announcement in November of 2001, it toured the film entertainment periphery in 2000 and won two awards: the New Directions Award from the AFI Fest and the Audience Favorite Choice Furnish from the Cinequest San Jose Skin Anniversary. The smokescreen was co-wrote, directed, and stars Gyp out of Morrow (Lyle Maze). Also starring in the film are Laura Linney (Callie) and Craig Sheffer (Mike).
Although Lyle Maze suffers from both Tourette’s syndrome and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), he manages to live a semi-normal life as an accomplished artist. When his best friend, Mike, decides to go to Africa to help with the medical relief effort, he asks Lyle to keep his girlfriend Callie company, as he’s worried about her. Over the months, the two start to bond and become close friends when she reveals she’s pregnant with Mike’s child.

While the movie initially seems like it might be a study of an artist struggling with two disorders, the film is really more a love story that focuses on developing the characters and their relationships, hopes, and motivations. Throughout, the film assumes the audience can grasp the thoughts and feelings of the characters, which works quite well in creating empathy for Lyle. Morrow does a fantastic job of portraying a person with Tourette’s and OCD, though the film wastes no time explaining either. Linney’s character follows a very believable progression from being comfortable with Lyle to realizing he is exactly who she’s been looking for in a partner. The film moves at a fairly quick pace and remains interesting the whole time.
