	Author	Review
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"A love letter to moviemaking and his audience in 'Hugo' (...) 'Come and dream with me,' a filmmaker pleads in Martin Scorsese's exquisite fantasy "Hugo," offering an invitation that's clearly extended from Scorsese himself (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"'Hugo' is unlike any other film Martin Scorsese has ever made, and yet possibly the closest to his heart: a big-budget, family epic in 3-D, and in some ways, a mirror of his own life (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Scorsese builds Hugo in the Méliès manner, creating a complete, ravishing Parisian world on a soundstage in England and reveling in the sheer transporting joy of it. Hugo will take your breath away (...) Ratin ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"Gorgeous as “Hugo” is, it never feels like childhood, never delivers the terror, the sense of injustice at grown-up rules, the exhilaration of discovery when all is new (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"In attempting to make his first film for all ages, Martin Scorsese has fashioned one for the ages. Simultaneously classical and modern, populist but also unapologetically personal"	POS
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"'Hugo' is big, and it exists mainly to dazzle, but its storytelling ambitions are more modest. I enjoyed it more than many a later Scorsese picture"	NEU
