{4.5\/5} “Death, grieving, mourning — they’re all commonplace. Logic is rare, and so… I dwell on logic.”<\/p>\n
Mr. Holmes<\/strong>, released in 2015<\/p>\n Sherlock Holmes is old and getting forgetful — he lives in the country and keeps bees. He gave up detective work years ago. He recently returned from Japan, where he procured some prickly ash — which he hopes will improve his faculties. Holmes is trying to recall the truth of his last case, which Watson fictionalized — because it’s what drove him into the country.<\/p>\n There isn’t a lot of action, but we see Holmes in his old age befriending a boy and we see his last case via flashbacks.<\/p>\n It’s about logic and emotion, and how you’re never too old to learn something.<\/p>\n Ian McKellen as Sherlock Holmes is, of course, brilliant. Nicholas Rowe (Sherlock in Young Sherlock Holmes<\/strong>) has a neat cameo.<\/p>\n Stars Laura Linney and Milo Parker. Directed by Bill Condon (Dreamgirls<\/strong>). There’s some effective music by Carter Burwell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4.5\/5} “Death, grieving, mourning — they’re all commonplace.
