>>too much a mystery about Hugo himself, rather than about Georges-- which meant that when the movie started being about Georges instead, it felt unsatisfying<<
That! Thanks. You put your finger on something that had been bugging me. I definitely remember feeling an "and now what?" sensation after the Hugo mystery was solved. It seemed like some of the energy went out of the film, and you've helped me understand why.
