Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children 2016

The childhood of Jacob passed under the stories of the grandfather about the orphanage for unusual children. Among its inhabitants was a girl who knew how to hold a fire, a girl whose legs did not touch the ground, an invisible boy and twins who could communicate without words. When grandfather dies, 16-year-old Jacob receives a mysterious letter and goes to the island where his grandfather grew up. There he finds children whom he had only seen in photographs.

Reviews
"Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children 2016" recalls simultaneously two completely different films: "Labyrinth of the Faun" and "Groundhog Day". Like "The Faun's Labyrinth", this is a terrible fairy tale about the war. From "Groundhog Day" here is a fantastic element - a loop of time, only strange children do not try to get out of it, but, on the contrary, they hide in a loop from reality. Movie 4k HDR 10 bit.

The teenager Jacob, to whom his old grandfather spent his entire childhood talking about his young years spent in Wales, had long ceased to believe in the old man's tales. But the grandfather dies under strange circumstances, and the young man goes to those places about which he heard so much from him. And it falls in 1943 year. And he finds an orphanage headed by his guardian, the sorceress Miss Peregrine. And children live in an orphanage. Indeed, very, very, very strange ... The next day the fascists will bomb the orphanage and therefore for the children there is only today, many years they live it anew. But even this delicate balance is under mortal threat ...

Atmospheric cinema, indeed, a terrible, even eerie, tale, clinging to the living. Explicit reference to the Holocaust. Someday, tales of war will be singled out in a separate subgenre - films that show the war with childish eyes. But now they are one or two times and I've found myself.

The director you probably know about the film "Sleepy Hollow", and the performer of the main role - on the film "The Guardian of Time". Family films, but the age requirement "12+" is better to bear in mind.
