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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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