About this movie

Academy Award nominee Ian McKellen
takes on the iconic role of Detective
Sherlock Holmes.
In 1947, the world famous sleuth has retires to
a remote Sussex farmhouse, living in relative
anonymity with only his housekeeper
Mrs Munro and her young son Roger for
company. Grappling with the diminishing
powers of his mind and frustrated with
the mis-representation of him in Watson’s
best-selling novels, he diverts his attention
to an unsolved case. As the mystery deepens,
Sherlock tries desperately to recall the events
of 30 years ago that ultimately led to his
retirement - MR HOLMES is an exciting new
twist on the world’s most famous detective. AI Film Production Limited/British Broadcasting Corporation (2015)

Brilliant performances and an important contemporary issue that many face, but just simply boring. Why they used Conan Doyle's character escapes me other than to get audiences. The character could have been any detective. Sherlock Holmes fans will be disappointed in the same way 007 fans would be if it was title swapped "Mr Bond".

A beautiful and very enjoyable movie, but don't watch it on YouTube. I'm astonished that a new movie is only served in 480p with no closed captioning.

Un mystère un peu terne MAIS une grande performance d'acteur qui demande à être appréciée à sa juste valeure.
