Roger Ebert

The latest adventure from Tim Burton would seem tailor-made for his tastes but it’s a convoluted slog, dense in mythology and explanatory dialogue but woefully lacking in thrills.

Common Sense Media

Being different doesn't make you a misfit -- just unique and gifted in your own way. Also, relationships between young people and their elderly relatives can be beautiful and character shaping.

The Hollywood Reporter

For at least the first hour, perhaps a bit more, Tim Burton seems well on his way to making one of his best films...

Variety

Not since “Sweeney Todd” have the studios found such a perfect match of material for Tim Burton, Hollywood’s most iconic auteur.

IMDb

I found the movie entertaining, and at no point did I wonder 'How long more is this going to be?' Any movie that never prompts me to ask this question automatically gets a 6 out of 10.

IMDb

For actors work. for interesting adaptation. for special effects. and, maybe, the only sin is to not guess ... the director.

Rotten Tomatoes

While Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children is based on a book, Burton does a great job of making it feel completely original and, most importantly, like a Tim Burton film.

Entertainment Weekly

To compete with Burton’s best, his heroic weirdos need a little more heart—and the monsters need sharper teeth.
