This movie delves into Sherlock Holmes after he retires. It is 1947 and his memory is fading. He is trying to remember why he retired but cannot. He knows his last case was the reason but he forgot all the details. He lives in a cottage keeping his bees with a housekeeper and her son.
Ian Holmes puts in a great performance. This movies is very under rated. Nicholas Rowe from Young Sherlock Holmes has a cameo in this movie, he played the on-screen Sherlock when Holmes goes to the movies...

It was a strong personal tale with a weak mystery. It was about Holmes dealing with mortality and a failed case in his past that he could not remember. His relationship with a steward boy who's mother takes care of Holmes estate is the best part of the movie. It's almost a "passing of the torch" movie. Those looking for a great sleuth flick will be disappointed. Those looking for a great indie film with some cool Holmesian easter eggs will be pleased.

I bought this as a present, because it was Sherlock & the superb actor Ian McKellen. A movie about Sherlock in his declining years wasn't as appealing as a plot, but I remembered how good a job George C. Scott did in 'They Might Be Giants' & decided to risk it. The DVD was fine and I wasn't very interested in extras, so the sale price made it an easy choice.

My two tweens really enjoyed the Robert Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes movies, so we thought this movie was going to be action packed, but this one is more for adults in the sense that there is not much action. It's a good story, but you have to pay close attention and follow the movie closely.

Simply LOVED this movie! it is like no other movie ever about the legendary Sherlock Holmes, sensitively and eloquently depicting his classic, yet heart-wrenching response to the ravages of ageing, serving mankinds' best interests by solving a mystery in the face of his deteriorating deductive powers and memory. Sensitive, intelligent, masterfully told depiction of his great "closing act"!

Ian McKellan gives a great performance as Sherlock Holmes. The curiousness w/in the movie has you guessing throughout the film. It's a film that will touch your heart as well as keep you guessing. For those Sherlock fans this movie is a must see.

The Brits always do a great job at developing the story's characters first then telling the story. The story they tell here is methodical (just like Holmes) then runs quickly to the end. Makes you think who done it!
