Hugo (2011)
Based on the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret this film from diretor Martin Scorsese stars Asa Butterfield, Ben Kingsley and Chloe Grace Moretz. An orphan that lives at a Paris train station tries to replair an automaton while avoiding the local policeman.
What this film does well is blend fact and fiction to provide a good story that is well executed despite a heavy reliance on CGI. While the plot is a fairly average family piece I did feel it was a little bit self indulgent when it came to the parts on film history but otherwise works well. It is really surprising to find Scorsese directing this film given how much it differs from every other film he has ever made but just shows his mastery of film making, there is also really good supporting cast of nearly all British stars.
5/5
