Mr. Holmes

2015 Mystery

In 1947, an aging Sherlock Holmes (McKellen), recently returned from a journey to Japan, settles into his secluded seaside farmhouse. Long retired, the world’s most famous detective now spends his remaining days tending to his bees, with only his housekeeper (Linney) and her young son Roger (Parker), a budding detective, to keep him company. With his mind not as sharp as it used to be, Holmes finds himself haunted by a case he failed to solve 50 years ago, and with Roger’s help, he revisits the details of an angry husband and his beautiful but unstable wife.
