Gave up half way through the movie. It's like some 'British creatives' brainstormed by saying : "Let's see how boring we can make this character by slowing down the pace with the trademark "nuances and subtleties" that Brits are so known for.""
Oh please. I had high hopes seeing the trailer but then trailer always deceives. Only candidate for fast paced acting would be the damned trains interspersed in between.
A geriatric and senile yawnfest. AVOID.
This was a good drama, but at the same time a boring mystery. And when a Sherlock Holmes story has a boring mystery and the only villain is yourself, then audience is disappointed. The trailer was indeed misleading - got the genre wrong.
shareI agree with this.
"Your mother puts license plates in your underwear? How do you sit?!"
People are different... I adored every second of it.
PAX....
I only made it 45 minutes into the movie. Very boring.
shareThe ill-tempered housekeeper: it's such a modern take on things to think people who lived back then should be happy, happy, happy. Think about it: she survived a difficult war, lost her husband, is working as a housekeeper without any modern conveniences, trying to raise her son, has little education for which her son disrespects her, and is worried about what they'll do when Holmes kicks the bucket, hence her plans to take a job in Portsmouth. I would be grumpy, too. I think she takes a journey, just like Holmes. In the end she almost loses her son and realizes how important he is to her, and sees the kindness of Holmes who rewards her service by planning to leave his estate to her, thus providing for her and her son, who has helped Holmes to take his journey of self-discovery. She deserves to do a little happy dance at the end.

So it's Ok...for some bytch to take her troubles out on the world?
Yeah
Her ill humor extended not only to Holmes, but to her blameless son.
He was a bundle of laughs as well.
If you ask me
I didn't.
She could have used a swift kick to her ample rump.
She could have used a dishwasher more.
We all have our troubles, but there's no excuse to make everyone pay for them.
I'll only make one or two pay for mine.
P.S. Have a nice day. (insert smiley face)
