Film Review: Hugo

Hugo is a film mostly set in a large Paris railway station of the 1920s. The orphaned son of a watchmaker lives there, behind the scenes, and takes care of the many clocks. Plot details beyond those few would constitute spoilers.

The other DrC and I saw the film this afternoon and enjoyed it very much. The film is visually rich, well-acted, and believable.

We believe whoever wrote the screenplay may have intentionally chosen plot elements that have made the film attractive to the people who vote for Academy Awards. See what you think.
