Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
Mr. Holmes just about gets the job done thanks to McKellen and Parker, but too many mediocre elements ensure this affair is a sad waste of a strong concept.

Rating: 8.5/10 --
Condon and Hatcher were just the men to bring this atypically humanistic vision of Sherlock Holmes from book to screen, and Mr. Holmes is a movie I'll be itching to revisit for years.

Way Too Indie
Despite meticulous acting, Bill Condon's film fails to bring emotional heft to
the tragedy of the aging and gradual disappearance of the human intellect.

Rating: B+ --
McKellen is such a commanding presence that he keeps "Mr. Holmes" interesting, even when the story comes close to losing the audience.

Bowling Green Daily News
McKellen is consistently enjoyable and gets a chance to share a nice moment of interplay when a still-dapper Holmes and Kelmot eventually meet on a park bench.

Maneuvering shrewdly within the boundaries of the traditional canon and aided by the impeccable performance of Ian McKellen, Bill Condon directs an elegant puzzler...
Los Angeles Times
Suspense and sleuthing are a backstory to this elegant tale of regret, rectification and humility.

Product Description:
Director Bill Condon puts a spin on Arthur Conan Doyle's most celebrated character with MR. HOLMES, which stars Ian McKellen as the famous detective. The set-up is that a now-retired Holmes, his steel-trap mind starting to fade with old age, lives out his golden years in the late 1940s. He returns from a trip to Japan searching for a plant that could slow the aging process and help him regain the faculties he knows he's lost. While there, he witnessed first-hand the result of America's bombing of Hiroshima, which has put him in a contemplative state. He lives with his devoted housekeeper Mrs. Murno (Laura Linney), and her son Roger (Milo Parker), who turns out to be of great help when the detective reopens his investigation into the case that led to his retirement.
