This is a wonderfully film in every way.

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2012)

I can easily see why people would be bored with this film. It takes time to tell the story, both in all ways. It is not in a rush to come to the end. It wants, and does, excite the senses. It invites you into its story web, and lets the tale unwind in a delightful and often exciting ways. It is tense. The story is told in direct way. The words often give way to the pictures and, if you allow it, the pictures will take you deeply into the story. It is good to be over seventy and have experienced movies before they became all action, movement and noise. We were educated to wait and enjoy the trip to the end. It is wonderful to get wrapped up in the world of Hugo and to enjoy the tender conclusion it brings. Thanks Martin and all the cast and crew. You should have won it all.
