Critics: “There is a real charm to Hugo and this largely thanks to the world that Scorsese has created - visually this movie is just beautiful. Paris comes alive under the watchful eye of Scorsese’s special effects with some beautiful shots of the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe.” - FemaleFirst
“It's a deeply felt piece of work, something which only Scorsese could have brought to the screen…” - Guardian
“It might be curtains for celluloid, but Scorsese, a boyish 69, clearly isn't leaving the stage any time soon. He directs every film with the passion of his first. And it shows.” - Time Out
