'Miss Peregrine's Home...': Evokes mixed reactions

Layered with metaphors and allegories that give varied meanings to the narration, on the surface, the film is the adventure of a young boy named Jake (Asa Butterfield), who shuttles in time. The film begins in Florida, US, where Jake, who shares a close bond with his grandfather Abe (Terrence Stamp) is fed with unbelievable stories about a "home for peculiar children", run by Miss Alma Peregrine, where he had spent time during his younger days. Jake's parents disapprove of Abe's storytelling sessions.
