Orphaned and alone except for an uncle, Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield) 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 (Jude Law). Accompanied by the goddaughter (Chloë Grace Moretz) of an embittered toy merchant (Ben Kingsley), Hugo embarks on a quest to solve the mystery of the automaton and find a place he can call home.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Hugo is an extravagant, elegant fantasy with an innocence lacking in many modern kids' movies, and one that emanates an unabashed love for the magic of cinema.

Deborah Ross The Spectator The first thing to say... is that it is a visual wonder... But the second thing to say is nothing else is as exciting as the look of it and if there is a third thing it is this: Hugo himself is rather boringly bland and I didn't much care for him. Aug 31, 2018 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com It is a miraculous achievement that, during this home stretch, engages on levels and in ways few other films can admit to, and as such makes a decided case to be considered as one of the year's finest achievements. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 27, 2012 Full Review Christy Lemire Associated Press Being a hardcore cinephile (like Scorsese) might add a layer of enjoyment, but it certainly isn't a prerequisite for walking in the door. A sense of wonder, however, is. Jan 3, 2012 Full Review Kathy Fennessy Video Librarian Magazine Though it didn't exactly storm the box office, it's truly one of the finest family films ever made. Rated: 4/5 Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Watch Hugo and you will see an aficionado of old films and cinema history making a movie that has a soft spot for just that. Rated: 4/5 Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Befitting such an impassioned tribute to the glories of early cinema and the creators of yesteryear wonders, it is a cinematic playground of technique and color and imagination, as well as an affectionate childhood adventure.

Audience Member A truly entertaining and emotional rewarding movie! I kept thinking about the movie for days even months. Me and my family were really moved by this film and it also holds a special place in my heart. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Barbie : I was about 11 months old when this movie came out, and it was the only movie that, as a baby, I didn’t cry at all throughout! 5/5 safe to being your kids to see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Alexsander F The film is beautiful and so sensitive! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Will G A great movie about France. The actors did a nice job. Scorsese is a fantastic director. It was about a train station and George Melies movies. Sacha Baron Cohen was funny. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review b s 14年8月10日第一次看，25年3月16日第二次看，几乎记不得第一次的故事。第二次看，才发现原来这是关于梅里艾和cinephile的故事，第一次意识到月球环游记里那副经典照片，不是月球拿着一个望远镜，而是月球的眼睛被扎了一艘飞船。像斯科塞斯这样的电影人，或许都会在晚年时候拍摄一部关于童年梦想的电影，来完成自己的心愿。如果是讲cinephile，哪一部能比得上《新天堂电影院》呢。 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, a história do Filme é fraco, o elenco tenta ajudar mas não consegue, mas as cenas salvam um pouco o filme, com isso, eu não recomendo esse filme.
