ReviewsBBC.com - MR HOLMES is refreshing ... what sets it apart from most contemporary takes on [Conan Doyle's] material is its undercurrent of warmth and humanity., Daily Telegraph UK - There's nothing about the film that Conan Doyle fans, McKellen fans, Linney fans, and anyone partial to a lilting Carter Burwell score won't relish., Independent UK - What makes it progressively more moving is a complex, multi-layered script and the performance from Sir Ian, which is reminiscent of Victor Sj÷str÷m in Ingmar Bergman's WILD STRAWBERRIES as another old man looking back on his life., The Guardian UK - The indirect narrative is interesting and McKellen stylishly inhabits the part both in extreme old age and earlier, in Holmes's sleek professional pomp., Variety - While the good detective himself hobbles about with a cane, MR HOLMES the movie glides smoothly back and forth across decades and continents as it follows these disparate plot strands through to their eminently logical conclusions.
