Hugo

Hugo (2011) – Scorsese’s paean to the art of early film is gorgeous and near-perfect from a technical standpoint; to its detriment, however, it does not focus on Méliès as it ought, a problem that is compounded by the fact that Asa Butterfield is generally unimpressive as Hugo; the film is certainly not without its charm, but in the end, it simply fails to tell a very compelling story. 6
