Hugo (2011)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0970179/

A lovely reflection on the importance of early cinema from Scorcese.  The enchanting and magical atmosphere is accentuated by the beautiful cinematography (all that clockwork!) and our orphan hero.  As adventures ensue the adult characters prove well-rounded and the plot manages to span humour, love, loss, and a creepy robot.

Four stars*

*Probably would have been five if I’d seen it on the big screen
