Miss Peregrine's Home
for Peculiar Children (2016)
Directed by Tim Burton
this film based on the novel of the same name stars Asa Butterfield,
Eva Green, Ella Purnell, Terence Stamp and Samuel L. Jackson.
Following the death of his grandfather a teenage boy from the US
travels to Wales to find the children's home his grandfather told him
stories of.
Taking a lot of
familiar genre elements the setting of this film does a great job of
combining them in unique ways to create an interesting world.
Unfortunately even at 2 hours the ending of the film feels rushed and
seems to gloss over some important things. There is an impressive
cast and Tim Burton is a safe pair of hands for this type of film but
I think another 30 minutes might have really helped this film.
4/5
