Awful

Rating: 1/10 (25 May 2018)

I have tried to watch this film three or four times and I can only last 15-20 minutes at best before wanting to pick up the phone and call Martin Scorcese. It is certainly a visually stunning movie, but not much else. The story line is pathetic and the choice of actors (esp. Sacha Cohen) destroys any interest I might hope to give it. The reason I dislike it so much has perhaps something to do with my vision of art. Art serves no purpose other than to distract from reality, hence it's not worth participating in. However, I can see how an art lover might appreciate Hugo - we would just never get along.
