This movie joins many others which use history as a background for the unfolding of events. It is conjured in an imaginative timeframe, but lacks an effective beginning. The elaborate machinery of clockworks makes for visual interest while providing focus in the action of the young boy's elaborate attempt to find an elusive part which would complete a robot . The protagonist, Hugo is caught up in many challenging and oppressive situations through many scenes, but, the happy ending comes. Character development is there, but the action moves quickly away from each person, so only a framework is available for the imagination to add to the image of each. I teach school and understand that many children would find this too slow paced, given their attention to watching their personal electronic devices which hold and limit peripheral attention. Movies require focus and detachment from scene to scene. Parents who encourage reading would find their children more readily receptive to watching and staying with the movie. I would recommend the movie, but I don't believe it is a moneymaker for the studio effort which brought it to the public. Engagement with a book version might be more beneficial. Visually the movie has interest.Read full review

The set-up and premise is great, and the book it is based on is lovely. But eventually the movie gets way too tedious in glorifying the film industry, movie history, and its own pretentious artsiness. This needed to be 1/2 hour shorter and more focused on the main characters.
