Reviews

Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised the film for its atmospheric cinematography and Rupert Everett's portrayal of a more brooding and complex Sherlock Holmes, others criticized its departures from traditional Holmesian elements and pacing issues. The Guardian commended the movie for its sleek production design and engaging storyline but found fault in the lackluster character development. On the other hand, Empire Magazine felt that the movie failed to capture the essence of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic detective, giving it a lukewarm rating. Despite its shortcomings, fans of the genre might find entertainment in this modern interpretation of the classic sleuth. IMDb rated the movie 6.7 out of 10.
