This quirky and retrofuturistic film recounts very tenderly a tale where love, present and past, and the surrealism of dreams and nightmares come together in a very joyful and entertaining manner.

In-between family drama and observational documentary, Mexican filmmaker Samuel Kichi delivers a touching history which, although wrapped around the context of the struggle and misery ensuing from immigration, it is more a tale on single motherhood than anything else.

Very moving story of an aging Sherlock Holmes, perfectly portrayed by Ian McKellen who, alongside a fantastic supporting cast and through three different argumentative lines, delivers a chilling performance as the iconic character fighting against a mystified identity around his persona, as well as his loneliness and the perks of old age exemplified by the loss of his once brilliant memory.

Passable supernatural horror film with a very solid set-up and great make-up work that unfortunately fades in punch as the movie moves forward becoming increasingly cliché and predictable.

Adequately for Universal, Sam Raimi succeeds in devising a “monster/creature” film intertwined with other genres such as the superhero film, specifically the origin story, and the thriller. This latter approach being by far the weakest of the three, but still more than bearable due to the interesting and eye-catching main character, the occurrences he goes through and the overall visuals in the film (as per usual when we talk about Raimi).
