Blowfish
In the taut drama Blowfish, a chance encounter at a remote gas station spirals into a high-stakes psychological standof...
In the twilight of his legendary career, the world’s greatest detective is haunted by the one case he could not solve. Directed by Bill Condon, this poignant drama finds a retired Ian McKellen as Sherlock Holmes, now 93 and living in seclusion with his bees and his failing memory. Strugg to recall the details of his final investigation—a mysterious case involving a beautiful, troubled woman—Holmes battles his own fading faculties while forming an unexpected bond with his housekeeper’s curious young son, Roger, played by Milo Parker. As he pieces together the fragments of the past with the help of a rare plant from post-war Japan, Holmes seeks not just to solve the old mystery, but to reconcile the man of logic he was with the human being he has become. With a quiet, reflective atmosphere and superb support from Laura Linney as the weary housekeeper Mrs. Munro, this is a moving exploration of legacy, regret, and the search for a different kind of truth.
