Wonderful movie - flawless. This move was very unique and different from any movie I can recall seeing. Absolutely mesmerizing. The timeless beauty of the cinematography and exquisite scenery transported me back in time. Each of the actors' portrayal of their roles was brilliant. I was fascinated to learn after I saw this beautiful movie that it is based on fact. The story captured the essence of the human spirit. The young boy who played Hugo and endured both tragedy and triumph was truly incredible. The movie is ultimately very inspiring. Loved every minute of it. My 9 and 12 year old grandchildren loved it, but would not recommend to children younger who might find it difficult to follow.
