On Sunday July 26th I went to Balmoral Cinema where I saw the movie Mr Holmes. It's 1947 and an aging Sherlock Holmes(Ian McKellen) who has just returned from Japan where he was searching of a rear plant with powerful restorative qualities as well as witnessing the devastation of nuclear warfare. Now living in his seaside farmhouse with his housekeeper Mrs Munro(Laura Linney) and her son Roger(Milo Parker) Holmes is tending to his bees and is revisiting the circumstances of the unsolved case that forced Holmes into retirement as he is relying on Roger to help him and it gets interesting. it is an excellent movie with excellent acting by Ian McKellen, Laura Linney, Milo Parker, Hiroyuki Sanada as Matsuda Umezaki, Hattie Morahan as Ann Kelmot and Patrick Kennedy as Ann's husband Thomas. It is directed by Bill Condon, produced by Anne Carey, Iain Canning and Emile Sherman and Jeffrey Hatcher did the screenplay. I am giving this 4 stars.
