Fresh: There are many lovely things in this film it is easy to forgive its small shortcomings
-Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile, January 12, 2012Fresh: Never mind that the tone wavers and the pace is mostly plodding, the film champions all the right things and the beautifully crafted images (in 3D glory) leave a lasting impression
-Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile, January 12, 2012Fresh: You can practically feel time stop in sync with the audience's halted breath. It's nothing short of wizardry.
-Simon Miraudo, Quickflix, January 11, 2012Fresh: In Hugo Scorsese not only tells an important story about early cinema, but delivers a film that is a passionate and convincing reminder of the essential role art and imagination should play in our lives.
-Thomas Caldwell, Cinema Autopsy, January 08, 2012
A great choice for school-age children.

This was an excellent movie. It really touches the heart. It has such and innocence to it.
Reviewer: cwayman Review refers to DVD version
Out of all the films nominated for Best Picture this year, this is the one that will be considered a classic 20 years from now. Positive themes, great acting, brilliant art direction, cinematography and editing. No one is shot, nothing blows up..so I guess some viewers may not find it exciting enough. I loved every minute of it. If you haven't upgraded to Blu-ray yet, this film is reason enough to do it now. Absolutely gorgeous!
Reviewer: Bill Review refers to DVD version
This had a good ending but to me was a very slow movie. I was lucky to stay awake for the first half of the movie. It is predictable but it was cute. I just thought it could have been better.

This was a cute movie. Not as action packed as I thought.
