"The Invention of Hugo Cabret" concerns a 12-year-ancient orphan who lives in the walls of a Paris train station in 1930 and a mystery relating the boy, his late father and a robot.

Review: From the very first minute, this film is breathtakingly wonderful and incredible. The art, cinematography, lighting, performing arts, tale, direction, are all incredible. This film must be given multiple Academy Awards, especially for Best Director (Scorsese), Best Actor (Asa Butterfield), Best Actress (Chloe Moretz), Best Supporting Actors (Ben Kingsley & Sacha Baron Cohen) and Cinematography. The casting was superb, all actors were very believable, I loved all of them, kudos to Martin Scorsese for bringing out the best in the cast.

The only criticism I can place into the world, is that it is a small slow for children, my 11 year ancient son got a small fidgety at times, but still loved the movie in the end.

"Hugo" is a masterpiece, a right work of art in film.
