This is, beneath all the childhood intrigue, Scorsese’s movie about movie history - down to a story that entangles Georges Méliès. Whatever the case, Hugo is long overdue for a reconsideration. And perhaps the visuals looked too adult for kids, but too childish for adults. Critics were broadly charmed, culminating with 11 Academy Award nominations - more than any other movie that year.īut the film’s marketing pushed its 3D visuals, and in 2011 3D had a tarnished reputation thanks to an onslaught of post-production 3D that caused headaches at best and nausea at worst.
It seemed to have everything going for it, from its iconic director (Martin Scorsese) to its cast of popular contemporary stars (Sacha Baron Cohen, Jude Law) and up-and-coming child actors (Asa Butterfield, Chloë Grace Moretz). It’s hard to say with confidence why this adaptation of the popular children’s novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret flopped in theaters.
