Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) by Brent_Marchant — 01 Oct 2016

Though a little slow to start, Tim Burton's latest cinematic fable is full of macabre fun, splendid visuals and subtly effective metaphors. Admittedly, the pacing in the first hour needs a little quickening (which could have been accomplished with some astute editing) and the screenplay could stand a little tidying, but there's much to like here, especially in the areas in which the director traditionally excels.

Have fun with this one, and don't forget to look closely at some of the details -- you just might be surprised at what you find.
