Review of 'Mr Holmes'

Period drama, spanning three historical periods, with Ian McKellen in the title role as an aged, infirm Sherlock Holmes suffering from dementia and trying to reconstruct the details of his last, unsuccessful case. Really well done, full of sadness and longing, and also beautiful to look at and well acted. Based on a novel that I think I've read, though I don't remember much about it, which is sort of appropriate, isn't it?
