Overview

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.

Viewing Notes

Screw the haters. I totally enjoyed the magic of this film and the celebration of film it exhibits. The 3D is wonderful and works beautifully in concert with the subject matter and storytelling. One of my favorite Ben Kingsley roles. So great to see Christopher Lee as well. Altho I gotta say, Chloë Grace Moretz’s attempt at an accent was amusing.
