| Die Burger Laetitia Pople  'Hugo' bekoor met onskuldige fantasie. | 15 | |
| Box Office Pete Hammond Hugo is not only a great family film—it is a great film, period. Magical and imaginative, this eye-popping masterpiece from director Martin Scorsese will transport audiences to a place they won't believe. | 20 | |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Hugo is unlike any other film Martin Scorsese has ever made, and yet possibly the closest to his heart: a big-budget, family epic in 3-D, and in some ways, a mirror of his own life. | 20 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli With Hugo, Martin Scorsese has accomplished what few in Hollywood are willing to try: make a movie for adults that arrives without sex, violence, or profanity and earns a PG-rating. It's a fairy tale for mature viewers, but the airy exterior hides emotional depth. | 18 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers Hugo will take your breath away. It truly is the stuff that dreams are made of. | 18 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs While I'm not sure how I'd feel on a second pass of watching it (due to some fairly slow passages and some length that could have been truncated), the first time around is quite a charming, engaging and entertaining delight about movies of yesteryear and their effect on those who made and saw them. | 15 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Hugo is an extravagant, elegant fantasy with an innocence lacking in many modern kids' movies, and one that emanates an unabashed love for the magic of cinema. | 19 | |
