Review of Mr. Holmes (2015) by Syed Hammad H — 13 Nov 2015
Director Bill Condon handles the character of Sherlock Holmes with grace and perception.
A lot of emotions with a rather unique look at the actuality of this man.
Ian McKellan is tremendous as the once-renowned detective who prefers facts rather than imagination; after a lifetime of handling cases Holmes is retired, aging, forgetful, and slowly on his way to the end of his days.
The movie is comprised of both present day and flashbacks to a particular case Holmes felt as unsolved and painful.
From Britain to Japan Holmes gathered a lot from the people who needed resolutions to their own mysteries.
While in the home of his housekeeper and her son Holmes passes on some much needed wisdom, he's not as prominent as he used to be but this family helps him re-think the mysteries of life itself that cant always be solved.
A lovely little flick.
