– By Cate Marquis –
Tim Burton takes a fresh creative direction with MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Tim Burton’s MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN is the director’s freshest and most original film in years, while still being entirely within the director’s wheelhouse of quirky, colorful, and mysterious movies. In this new creative direction, Burton offers a more mature, even serious tone, and less of his signature over-the-top silly quirk, in this tale of a teenage boy and his beloved grandfather, who raised him on tales of a mysterious, hidden home for “peculiar” children – that is, children with special powers such as levitation or invisibility, and run by kindly but strict Miss Peregrine.
The film is a departure for Burton, and fans expecting the usual mix of oddball darkness and humor may feel let down by this more mature film.
