By Chris Bumbray (988) for JoBlo's Movie Emporium (1,959) on 25 Sep 2016

Lesser Tim Burton, but worth seeing for Eva Green…

By Matt Donato (975) for We Got This Covered (2,391) on 25 Sep 2016

With Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, Tim Burton focuses all his energy on a dusty, far-too-droll buildup that's far from worth…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 25 Sep 2016

It's easy to see why Burton was drawn to material developed from freaky pictures, but this is simply the worst thing he's ever committed to…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By Tim Grierson (1,482) for Screen International (2,241) on 25 Sep 2016

For a movie that’s meant to have some magic in it, Peculiar Children displays little buoyancy, the proceedings weighed down by tedious world-building…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By Kate Stables (138) for Total Film (3,532) on 25 Sep 2016

Hugely charming if somewhat cluttered, Burton’s horror-spiked YA freaks-and-a-geek fantasy proves a Home run for Asa Butterfield…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By Kyle Anderson (153) for Nerdist (550) on 24 Sep 2016

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is thoroughly enjoyable for the bulk of its run time, and Burton proves once again that he can…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By Jordan Hoffman (1,025) for The Guardian (2,969) on 24 Sep 2016

We get the playfulness of seeing quirky magic powers mixed with the familiarity of how a time loop plays out…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By David Ehrlich (1,229) for Indiewire (3,631) on 24 Sep 2016

“Miss Peregrine’s” is a hollow ode to wonder and weirdness that suggests we’re running perilously low on both…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 24 Sep 2016

This adventure should have been spooky and witty and exciting, but instead it’s just dreary and dull. Peculiarity has rarely been this tedious…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By Stephen Whitty (1,794) for Newark Star-Ledger (1,745) on 24 Sep 2016

The script feels like it's been rewritten too many times (or perhaps not enough -- it never can make a central time-travel angle really work)…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By Chris Packham (159) for Village Voice (8,525) on 24 Sep 2016

Burton scales his finale down to the size of a tourist boardwalk for an unexpectedly gripping crowd-pleaser of an action scene…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By Peter Debruge (1,557) for Variety (12,700) on 24 Sep 2016

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By James Croot (201) for Stuff.co.nz (387) on 24 Sep 2016

Miss Peregrine is a breathless, rollercoaster ride of an action adventure that makes full use of today's special effects wizardry and the costuming…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By Todd Mccarthy (1,810) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 24 Sep 2016

For a time, an appealing gentleness prevails that's rooted in this unique inter-generational romance, a feeling augmented in particular by…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By Chris Stuckmann (217) for ChrisStuckmann.com (205) on 24 Sep 2016

Burton's beautiful visuals are unfortunately undermined by a messy plot, a weak villain and a hopelessly boring protagonist…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By David Crow (142) for Den of Geek (424) on 24 Sep 2016

It features the villains eating the eyeballs of children like they're escargot. These days, that has to count for something…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By William Bibbiani (788) for CraveOnline (813) on 24 Sep 2016

Tim Burton's latest may look and sound just like another YA fantasy film but it's as potent an allegory for our contemporary (and age-old)…

By Matt Goldberg (248) for Collider (1,032) on 24 Sep 2016

Miss Peregrine only really works as a meta-commentary on the director and his worldview. It's disposable entertainment at best…

Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)

By Ed Gonzalez (1,102) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Sep 2016

Tim Burton's direction reminds us of the distinct, peculiar coyness that was always at the heart of his best films…
