Hugo
U; Adventure
Dir: Martin Scorsese
Cast: Asa Butterfield, Chloe Moretz, Ben Kingsley
****1/2

Going against all his gangster drama roots, Scorsese offers a film in which the characters are defined by fleeting moments of softness and visual pizzazz. The startling effect of Hugo is that months later, the film feels as though you’ve lived it. The imagery is just extraordinary and seems like something out of a Van Gogh painting, because the colors really pop. It’s gorgeous.
