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.

Scorsese's første børnefilm. Nærmest 'det tænkende barns Harry Potter-film'. Den var super flot i 3D i biffen.
