Miss Peregine's Home... sees a largely on-form Tim Burton doing his particular style well in a thoughtful, creative and mature way. Although it is no Edward Scissorhands or even Beetlejuice, the film offers a strong story through another well-crafted Jane Goldman script, some delightful visual conceits and a number of peculiar and horrific ideas that are just about on the right side of child-scaring. The time-looping concept is stretched to almost breaking point, otherwise the movie is full of interesting ideas that keep the viewer's attention. Eva Green does good character work in the title role, and Asa Butterfield again proves to be a strong emerging young actor. Overall, this is a good commercial Tim Burton film that skews young and entertains effectively.
