Director : Martin Scorsese
Running Time : 128 mins
Hugo Cabret (Butterfield) is an orphan who lives in the walls of a 1930s Parisian train station where he spends his time fixing the station clocks. When he discovers that the key to the automaton left to him by his father is missing its key, he ventures beyond the walls in search of it, meeting with a girl named Isabelle (Moretz), the god-daughter of local shopkeeper George Melies (Kingsley) while trying to avoid the attentions of the local station inspector (Cohen).
For such a highly praised movie, personally I wouldn’t say more than this was okay. The performances were fine for a kid’s movie, and the plot was cute, but the runtime was ridiculously long considering how basic the storyline is and I’d imagine most kids would tire of this pretty quickly. I’d call this a children’s movie that is aimed at adult sensibilities around childhood more than what modern children would actually enjoy.
