Hugo is Martin Scorsese’s first film in 3D, and also his first film aimed specifically at a family audience. Like Hitchcock’s Dial M for Murder, Scorsese’s film adds prestige to the 3D fad, and demonstrates that stereoscopic cinema can be used creatively as more than merely a gimmick.
Ben Kingsley is, of course, excellent, in his second Martin Scorsese film (following Shutter Island). Ray Winstone (also in his second Scorsese film, after The Departed) has merely a cameo role, as does Jude Law. It’s ironic that Law repairs an automaton in Hugo, as he previously played a robot in AI.
