Hugo - Reviews

Hugo's plot is set in motion by a heart-shaped key. This is a great director's greatest love story.

Scorsese has gone all Harry Potter-ish on us, creating an intricately designed and beautifully rendered story aimed squarely at that fabled (and commercially invaluable) point at which childlike fantasy intersects with adult yearning.

A visual and technological stunner, 'Hugo' manages to wrap an emotionally involving story about an orphaned boy in 1930s Paris around a passionate appeal for the practice of film preservation...

We feel a great artist has been given command of the tools and resources he needs to make a movie about — movies.

Decades in Hollywood haven’t whittled down Scorsese’s boyish enthusiasm about the medium, which fully animates Hugo.

...an intricately designed and beautifully rendered story aimed squarely at that fabled (...) point at which childlike fantasy intersects with adult yearning.

En varm hyldest og ganske passende udført i den 3D-teknik, som netop øger indlevelsen i fantasiens verden snarere end i realismens.

...är Martin Scorseses kärleksförklaring till den tidiga filmen. 30-talets Paris återskapas i ett nostalgidelirium...

Både barn och vuxna kommer att känna med Hugos öde och sköljas med i det enastående äventyret.
