Summary
An aging, retired Sherlock Holmes, now 93 and living in rural Sussex tending bees, struggles with fading memory as he tries to recall the details of his final unsolved case from decades earlier. With the help of his housekeeper's young son, he confronts the gaps in his mind and the personal failures hidden behind his legendary reputation.
Mr. Holmes is a 2015 crime, drama and family film.
13,058 other films from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 730 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 217 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 221 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Mr. Holmes lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 217.
