Review of Mr. Holmes (2015) by Erik D — 29 Oct 2015
An effective 'what if' drama, 'Mr Holmes' offers an interesting insight into the master's sleuth's golden years. McKellen's portrayal highlights elements not seen in other incarnations (such as his zeal and 'enjoyment' of his work) while still maintaining that sense of intelligence and authority.
Pairing this up with a story about guilt, mental deterioration and even questioning Holmes' own legacy makes for a compelling tale, even if it may not offer much in the way of Doyle-esque thrills or surprises.
