Labyrinth packs enough surprises to captivate an audience of children and provides enough wisecracking to keep adults laughing.

Roger Ebert · Chicago Sun-Times 50.00/100.00

Great energy and creativity went into the construction, production and direction of this movie, but it doesn't have a story that does justice to the production.

Stephen Cole · The Globe and Mail (Toronto) 25.00/100.00

David Bowie, flaunting a Marianne Faithfull hairdo, stars in Jim Henson's latest puppety film, the flagrantly unoriginal Labyrinth. [1 Jul 1986, p.A1]

Ian Nathan · Empire 60.00/100.00

Fabulous fantasy from the godfather of modern puppetry Jim Henson.

Nina Darnton · The New York Times 90.00/100.00

Labyrinth, a fabulous film about a young girl's journey into womanhood that uses futuristic technology to illuminate a mythic-style tale, is in many ways a remarkable achievement.

Jonathan Rosenbaum · Chicago Reader 60.00/100.00

George Lucas produced and Jim Henson (of Muppets fame) directed this heftily budgeted 1986 fantasy, which seems to be a conscious attempt to play on the female coming-of-age themes of classic fairy tales.
