Mr. Holmes

[RealityChuck]

A version of the legend, starring Ian McKellen as a 90-year-old version Holmes living in retirement and raising bees. His memory foggy, he attempts to write the truth about on particular case.

[Vic Sage]

A great Chabon novella in the same vein...



The story never actually names Holmes as the character its about, but its pretty clear.

I read the novel that this movie is based on - A Slight Trick of the Mind - and it was excellent. I'm curious to see how it is adapted.

I haven't read the book, but I would think the movie took much from it. You rarely get plotting that clever from Hollywood alone.
