Lyle Maze (Rob Morrow) is a talented New York painter and sculptor with Tourette's Syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Though he tries to control his spasms and sudden shouting fits, his efforts are fruitless: his condition controls his life. Lyle's best friend, Mike (Craig Scheffer), is a self-absorbed doctor who leaves New York on a seven-month trip to Africa, exacerbating Lyle's feelings of inadequacy and abandonment. But Mike's departure is even harder on his pregnant girlfriend, Callie (Laura Linney), who turns to Lyle for security and reassurance. As the months pass, Lyle begins to fall in love with the nurturing Callie, and the more he feels for her, the harder he tries to behave "normally." Lyle's art blooms; he makes beautiful work. Eventually Callie agrees to pose naked for Lyle, taking their mutual trust to a new level. However, when Mike returns from his African mission, he walks right into the middle of the newly formed love triangle and forces his friends to face the complexities of their relationships to one another. A serious and sometimes upsetting film, MAZE marks a major achievement for Morrow as he channels his NORTHERN EXPOSURE fame into strong writing, directing, and acting roles. [More]

Maze is the kind of small movie that rarely gets shown in theaters anymore ...

In the end, you just feel good about these people, and that's a nice sensation these days.

The best kind of independent filmmaking to shame the somnolent mainstream.

Morrow illuminates all the challenges facing the individual coping with Tourette syndrome while showing that Lyle is much more than the sum of his afflictions.

A movie that both Oprah and Hallmark would be proud to stamp with their seal of approval.

Shows promise as a first feature ... but overall it feels a little too safe, a little too careful.

An effective love triangle has to involve real conflict. This one doesn't.

What drains the movie is that Lyle is such a sweet, noble, suffering soul that he simply sponges our interest into banality.

Gets points for sensitivity and intelligence, but misses the mark as a work of art.

Linney's finely calibrated, low-key performance as Callie goes a long way towards making it more interesting than it might otherwise be.

There's a by-the-numbers inevitability to every scene, and it never clicks into place to be anything special.
