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.

  • Well worth viewing

    This is a lovely story of an elderly Sherlock Holmes with onset dementia living in the country having given up sleuthing and the friendship he has with his housekeepers young son. Sir Ian McKellen is wonder as Mr Holmes and Milo Parker plays the young boy with his usual charm and wonderful facial expressions. The housekeeper is another excellent character played by Laura Linney. All set in a gentler time in Britains beautiful green and pleasant land with some hints of tragedy. Ive watched it a few times now and have found it very enjoyable. Not for you if you like guns, killing and sex. If you want a pleasant family film and to watch great actors with a good well written story then I would recommend Mr Holmes.

  • Classic Holmes all the way.

    Utilising the age-old characterisation by Arthur Conan Doyle, all the well-known deductive skills of Sherlock Holmes are given quite an adequate exposure in this movie. Too bad, the presence of the indefatigable Dr Watson was missing, although only mentioned in passing. Overall the detective skills were kept enthralling right up till the end.

  • Engkish Cinemaphotography at its best

    This is a gentle drama in which the 3 main actors beautifully portray their characters with sensitivity. The best kind of English cinema.

  • No place for old men

    A twist on the old and familiar. Without Watson, Holmes has a case in his new found home area. Subtle twist and an unknown love of bee keeping. McKellen excels as the octogenarian detective.
