Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) by Dann M — 11 Feb 2017
From Tim Burton comes the magical adventure Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Seeking closure over his grandfather's death Jacob goes in search of a reclusive children's home that his grandfather told him stories about, and upon finding it he discovers a world of supernatural wonders.
Starring Eva Green, Asa Butterfield, Ella Purnell, Terence Stamp, and Samuel L. Jackson, the film has a fairly decent cast. And Burton's directing style is perfect for the material. Also, the special effects and score are especially well-done.
However, the plot's a bit hard to follow; with the jumping in and out of various time-loops and creation of alternative time-lines. The character development is a little weak too, with most of them being defined by their peculiarity.
Yet despite its weaknesses, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a fantastically imaginative film that all audiences will enjoy.
