Go
A very peculiar film.
Eva Green (Vesper from Casino Royale) once again shows why she is regarded as one of the finest actresses in the business with a wonderful performance as Miss Peregrine. Her command of every scene and her obvious love for the children is a pleasure to watch. Ella Purnell as Emma Bloom is incredible. She expertly displayed Emma’s own strength and older-sister like care mixed in with the intense streaks of vulnerability that define her character. All the while making her one of the most lovable characters I have ever seen on the silver screen.
However, the real star of the show is Asa Butterfield as Jake. He gives one hell of a performance. Butterfield has been acting since the ripe old age of nine, and almost every role he’s had has been a leading role. There’s a reason for that, and as with Hugo, The Boy In The Stripped Pajamas, and Ender’s Game, he proves that yet again.
