Leave your thoughts about Mr. Holmes.
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayA surprisingly touching take on the famous detective, with one of Ian McKellen's best performances. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatOne last case for the elderly detective that convinces him to cherish the mysteries of his existence. |
| ExcelsiorLucero SolórzanoMr. Holmes is a great vehicle for the showcasing of Ian McKellen. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Flicks.co.nzGiles HardieMr. Holmes is not simply brilliant, for it is not simple. It is complex, multi-layered and probing. But it is brilliant and also entertaining. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...really, the philosophical implications are pretty slight; the best reason to see the film is McKellen's finely calibrated evocation of a soul in revolt against a failing mind and body. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonMcKellen is masterful, in a multilayered tale that navigates the no man's land between memory and fiction. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereIan McKellen shines in reunion with Gods and Monsters director Bill Condon. |
| Dork ShelfJason GorberSo, while the film is decent if perhaps contrived and mundane, it's made just that more magnificent by McKellen's turn. He's that breathtaking to watch, that charismatic and engaging on screen that you forget the rest. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseMcKellen dazzles...Mr. Holmes spins a tale about the falsely drawn lines between stories and our perceptions of real life, between celebrity image and genuine persona, and between upper and lower classes. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonHonors the Arthur Conan Doyle legacy as much as the engrossing BBC series starring Benedict Cumberbatch -- and certainly more than those daft action romps featuring Robert Downey Jr. as Indiana Holmes. |
