The story is good and, to my knowledge, follows the Sherlock Holmes legend very well. As with any of the other recent Holmes versions (Cumberbatch, Robert Downey Jr, and TV's Jonny Lee Miller), it needs to be viewed again to catch all the clues presented. The movie is based on the book: A Slight Trick of the Mind.
Milo Parker, who is new, is impressive. And it is hard to imagine Laura Linney in a minor and somewhat subservient role, but she does it well.
But McKellen is the reason to see this film.
