Hugo

Orphaned and alone except for an uncle, Hugo Cabret lives in the walls of a train station in 1930s Paris. Hugo's job is to oil and maintain the station's clocks, but to him, his more important task is to protect a broken automaton and notebook left to him by his late father. Accompanied by the goddaughter of an embittered toy merchant, Hugo embarks on a quest to solve the mystery of the automaton and find a place he can call home.

Agreed. It was not bad, but in my opinion it doesn't deserve the high standing it received at IMDb or a total of 11 Oscar nominations.

I liked the music that was playing. It really gave the movie a french vibe even though everyone was speaking English. It reminded me of the Pixar movie Ratatouille.

An outstanding film for lovers of film by a great lover of film. Scorsese succeeds in letting the audience see the origins of cinematic dream-making through the lens of hyper-contemporary cinematic technology. Kingsley is stellar, & Moretz demonstrates that she has a great future in film, should she want it. Butterfield is a bit wooden, but he is far from unwatchable. Sumptuous but somehow intimate, Hugo shows that technology when used properly can complement the story.

If you haven’t seen *Hugo* yet (or if it’s been a while), now is the perfect time to revisit this cinematic gem. Let yourself be transported to a world where gears turn, dreams ignite, and magic comes alive on screen.

Wonderful, wide-eyed, sentimental adventures through the eyes of an imaginative child. With a root premise ripped from the pages of industrial-era kids' stories, it's innocent and magical but also grounded, stretching reality like the best fairy tales. Though the plot is routinely jabbing in unexpected new directions, it's all done with a purpose and everything comes together beautifully in time for the closing credits.

Asa Butterfield and Chloe Grace Moretz are appropriately doe-eyed and rambunctious youths, Ben Kingsley brings a perfect amount of hidden warmth to the role of the stern, icy toy shop owner with a secret, and Sacha Baron Cohen shows surprising versatility in his turn as the persistent, bumbling train station officer. Spectacular visuals, passionate storytelling and expert direction make this kids' movie suitable for all ages, even if it does drag for a stretch in the second act.
