Review of Mr. Holmes (2015) by Dae J — 17 Aug 2015
This is different take on the popular character in which works well in my opinion. It is slow burn drama but it has its charm and wicked humor, this is more of traditional old school Sherlock Holmes than recent invention of Sherlock Holmes character (ex, from BBC's Sherlock to CBS Elementary and to the movie form of Sherlock Holmes, starting Robert Downey Jr.).
To those who likes the recent take on Sherlock Holmes character, you might be having hard time getting into the film where as for those who has open minded on the character will find this film refreshing and entertaining. I had good time watching it and love the chemistry between Sir Ian McKellen and Milo Parker, who played Sherlock Holmes and Roger in the film.
This isn't must see film now but if there is showing in your local theater and if you have curiosity of this film, it surely is worth to check it out.
