| Daily Trend (Mexico)Uriel BarcoIt could be said that the film is nothing else than X-Men combined with Back to the Future and Groundhog Day seen under the Burtonian magnifying glass. [Full review in Spanish] |
| The Film StageMarc CiafardiniA mostly winning combination of the strange and unusual, the adventure is an entertaining, clever, and fun one. |
| Urban CinefileLouise KellerFirmly branded with Tim Burton's magnetic and distinctive stamp, this wondrous time-travel fantasy adventure is propelled by imagination and superb execution. I felt like a kid in a candy store who gets to sample everything |
| National Catholic RegisterSteven D. GreydanusLurches in directions at once too juvenile for grownup tastes and too gruesome for kids. Maybe there's a sweet spot around 10 to 13 where it might feel gleefully transgressive. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonBurton delivers his most ambitious and engaging film since “Sweeney Todd” (2007). Although the story becomes increasingly complex as it goes along, the emotional payoff is more than worth it. |
| Las Vegas Review-JournalChristopher LawrenceWith Burton calling the shots, there's certainly magic in some of the visuals. But overall, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children takes its cue from its monsters. It's ultimately hollow. |
| USA TodayBrian TruittThis is pretty much Burton doing an "X-Men" movie, with a plucky yesteryear vibe and evil Samuel L. Jackson thrown in for extra fun. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAs peculiar as Peregrine and her charges, but...the peculiarity, if it falls short of enchanting, will be agreeable, especially to the director's fans. |
| Silver Screen RiotMatt OakesBurton's keen eye for imaginative landscapes lends Peregrine some much-needed visual pop ...but some of the big set pieces remain inexplicably humdrum. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonBurton's gothic whimsy crackles and cackles gleefully to life with writhing flourishes of the macabre. |
