Definitely more emotive than mysterious, the film succeeds on the backs of its utmost capable actors. Ian McKellen's assumption into the role of Mr. Holmes is so complete and convincing that I legitimately worried (and perhaps still worry) about McKellen's health off screen. Milo Parker and Laura Linney are just splendid in their roles. It's a perfect trio.

It's definitely not the Holmes you're used to reading or seeing as played by Robert Downey Jr. and sure, it drags a little and takes a little bit to get going, but it's worth the investment in time.
