I don’t know about you, but I found that to be a damn effective refresher on why I fell so hard for Hugo in the first place. I walked out of the theater feeling that the movie had really been a labor of love, and you get a good sense here of just how much care and effort went into the project. Plus, I got a kick out of watching Scorsese directing Kingsley, who as filmmaker Georges Méliès is himself directing A Kingdom of the Fairies.
