    Mr. Holmes is about how the past defines us. It is also very much about regret and trying to put things right. show more

    Joe MorgensternWall Street Journal

    The plot has an intriguing twist, and the production, in addition to Mr. McKellen’s commanding presence, has fine work by Laura Linney as Holmes’s housekeeper, Mrs. Munro, and by Milo Parker as Roger, Mrs. Munro’s son. The boy is vividly intelligent, ferociously angry and a force to be reckoned with. show more
