I have a canker sore on my left tonsil. Every time I move anything, eat anything, or swallow it feels like someone is stabbing my throat. Based on past experiences I’m assuming I got it because of stress. It’s finals week, I’m applying for internships, I’m in the midst of…
KarstenDec 4, 2019one of the only movies about “the magic of the movies” that actually captures just how miraculous cinema can be. a way for us to connect together, even just for a few hours, to see worlds and images that were considered impossible. it moves me beyond words to know that one…

A funny thing about watching movies as a father of two children is that anything in a movie that even speaks to the relationship between a father and a child makes me cry now, which is to say that this movie made me weep.
Jamelle BouieOct 19, 2023there are very few movies out there that look this good. one of the only others i can think of is spielberg's west side story. looking back, it really feels like we cracked something about incorporating digital VFX in that 2009-2012 era and then lost it. the perpetual steam…

Loved watching this as a little kid
Nico Turner likedHugoKind of forgettable, but it’s such a good way to spread the importance of film to younger audiences
kayl lovedHugo9.5/10 this is such a sweet movie💚. i absolutely love Asa Butterfield, and every movie ive seen him in has been amazing! the only reason its not a 10 is because i feel like it could’ve been a bit shorter and still have been a great movie.

Perfectly captures the wonders of Movies and exploring the unknown and recreating the beauty in every being
Platypus Lord lovedHugoA whimsical and charming movie about purpose and the magic of the movies, and a great story in its own right too. Great visuals, camera work, and memorable performances help bring the movie to life. And it has a character named Monsieur Frick. What's not to like? I like the subtle humor…
Sean Wick dislikedHugoThe ending was pretty good and the message about film is sweet but the characters for me come off as annoying and the story isn’t very interesting.

An exhilarating tale of magic, machines, memories, and dreams, Martin Scorsese pulls off the neatest trick of all. He marshals the marvels of modern movie technology - up to and including the dreaded 3-D - to create a love letter to the earliest of movies and, by extension, to every movie from then to now.

The result is a movie that's kinetic yet slow, whose joys are architectural more than spiritual.

It's a complex fusion of film history and personal history, filled with dazzling embellishments and unabashed sentiment about the glories of cinema.
