Yes, I saw this recently and thought it was great.

Just saw a prescreening of Dev Patel’s “Lion.” It’s coming out in January and is well worth seeing.

[Navy Patriot]

Agree, Mr. Holmes is well worth watching with the kids.

Is your XTV still streaming as well as it did when you loaded it?

[Company Man]

Yes, the end was very moving.

I saw it when it first showed up on Netflix, and loved the movie. I’ve read the complete works of Sherlock Holmes, and watched just about every movie that was made, even watched the series with Jeremy Brett. I also enjoy Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in their roles of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, and look forward to the new series starting on PBS New Year’s Day.

Thanks for that!

Agreed, it was quite good. It’s available (or was,) on Amazon Prime, if you’re a subscriber, at no additional charge.

Sir Ian McKellan is excellent as the “real” Sherlock Holmes in his elder, declining years, who is trying to separate himself from the fictional Holmes, and trying to solve one last case that’s haunted him.

It’s really very good. I didn’t think I’d care for it.
