The movie is divided to two parts.First half absolutely is brilliant,magical and includes some of the greatest cinematic moments in recent years and it's kinda Tarkovsky/Kiarostami's directing styles combination.In second part unfortunately it starts fading and failes to create unique cinematic scenes like the first half however it doesn't lose its structure and master director,Ceylan successes to illustrate what he has in mind.In my opinion in 2011 which was a bad year for movies there were only three films with the potential for becoming a classic.Once Upon a Time in Anatolia,The Tree of Life and A Separation.

It's nice to look at .Visually is beautiful and Robert Richardson as cinematographer did a magnificent job although his winning over the Tree of Life was unexpectable,but Hugo is forgettable and has no elements of a memorable movie.It hardly can be good as a movie for adult audience,mainly because the idea isn't original and we have seen better results in movies like Cinema Paradiso.
