<P> Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film five out of five stars, hailing it as "a rich, baroque, intricately detailed entertainment" and a "terrifically good - natured, unpretentious and irresistibly buoyant film". NME's Larry Bartleet also gave it five stars, calling it "more enchanting to your inner kid than the Potter films ever were". IndieWire's Eric Kohn gave the film a B+ saying that it "delivers the most satisfying period fantasy since Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street ", and that its layers of sophistication made it one of the best Hollywood blockbusters of the year . </P> <P> Mike Ryan of Uproxx gave the film a positive review, writing "Newt Scamander is nothing like Harry, but it has to be this way . It all has to be different . And it is, but, again, with just enough' sameness' to make us feel like we are at home again . I'm looking forward to wherever these movies are taking us". John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film is "likely to draw in just about everyone who followed the Potter series and to please most of them". New York Magazine's David Edelstein deemed the film a "distinctly unmagical slog", remarking that the beasts "aren't especially fantastic and the effects are too blandly corporate to be exhilarating". </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Award </Th> <Th> Date of ceremony </Th> <Th> Category </Th> <Th> Recipients </Th> <Th> Result </Th> <Th> Ref (s) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Academy Awards </Td> <Td> 26 February 2017 </Td> <Td> Best Production Design </Td> <Td> Stuart Craig and Anna Pinnock </Td> <Td> Nominated </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Best Costume Design </Td> <Td> Colleen Atwood </Td> <Td> Won </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Art Directors Guild Awards </Td> <Td> 11 February 2017 </Td> <Td> Excellence in Production Design for a Fantasy Film </Td> <Td> Stuart Craig </Td> <Td> Nominated </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> British Academy Film Awards </Td> <Td> 12 February 2017 </Td> <Td> Best British Film </Td> <Td> David Heyman, Steve Kloves, J.K.
