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.

A film about films by one of the best filmmakers. I loved seeing how they showed the origin of film. I need to watch a trip to the moon asap. Scorsese shows he can do different types of movies and why he truly is one of the greatest directors. Edit: I have now seen A Trip to the Moon. I really enjoyed the second half of this movie much more than the first. Once it focused on the film story it was a lot more interesting. I would love a biopic from Scorsese about someone who makes movies. He already did it a little in The Aviator but now I want a full movie about movies.

Really good watch, might watch again, and can recommend.

Asa Butterfield, Chloe Grace-Moretz, Ben Kingsley, and Sacha Baron Cohen all give a great performance in this weird, weird setting of an alt history train station, or hell, maybe this is a true story and I'm just that unfamiliar with the bi More

It's one of the best looking films I've ever seen. I saw it in 3-D and if "Hugo" is the typical example of the technology I say "more please".

I also think it's great that Scorsese made this movie more of a tribute to film than a story about a sad little boy who finds happiness. That story has be More

I’m super ambivalent about this one. On the one hand, it’s a wonderful love letter to Georges Méliès, one of the true grandfathers of cinema. That was really fun to see from a film-nerd perspective. Knowing about Scorsese’s childhood and his long history of promoting film restoration enhance More
