ThiefHott Too much of everything

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

friskyfeline-67586 It's as if Rembrandt and Vermeer have come to life. It's an engaging story beautifully told. I could go season 2.

Taxiridefan I watched the first episode and became wrapped up in the mysteries that surround the house and its inhabitants, the Mysterious Miniaturist and how they seemed to know everything that was going on within those walls. Then we get to the second episode and what do we get? Two characters are dead, there really was no big mystery to the Miniaturist, she was just observant and life will just go on. No mystery, no intrigue, just a flat ending. Watching this was like going to the symphony where it builds up to this huge crescendo and the end is someone blowing a party whistle. There was no point to any of it.

frukuk A beautifully paced beginning, with some excellent acting (especially from Anya Taylor-Joy), peters out following the big reveal about the marriage.Given the miniaturist seems to remain unpaid after supplying unsolicited miniatures, I really didn't understand what motivated her. (So it clearly wasn't money. Was it that she was driven, as an artist, to create her works? If so, that needed to be communicated much more clearly.)

mizhodes I started watching the first episode and did not move. It is beautiful. It is light and dark, funny and disturbing. It is worth the time and I will definitely watch it again. The acting was first rate, but the sheer beauty of the lighting and the sets, especially the miniature steals the viewer's attention.
