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.

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

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.
