Mr. Holmes** (PG)
(Ipswich Film Theatre)
(GB 2015)
93-year old Sherlock Holmes battles senility and his image created by the late Dr. Watson to tell his own story of his last unresolved case.
Quite convincing in its creation of a world that Holmes has outgrown, with a movingly haggard performance (one of McKellen's best for a long while), this absorbing post-war drama has its flaws in the script, including an underused Japanese sub-plot, but sincerity and conviction see it through.
d: Bill Condon
s: Ian McKellen, Laura Linney, Milo Parker, Hattie Morahan, Patrick Kennedy, Hiroyuki Sanada, Roger Allam, Frances de la Tour, John Sessions (as Mycroft), Nicholas Rowe, Frances Barber, Phil Davis
