The breathless hype this movie is receiving is making me angry, and I’m not entirely certain why.

Possibly because on a superficial level it comes off as another celebration of an evil doer who actively did truly shitty things, and we're all bone fucking tired of that.

I only say that because for myself I've been skipping the above Guardian article for several days based on the subject alone, and that is my own reason why. Good to hear there's more to the movie than that. I like a good documentary, maybe this will be worth watching when it gets to streaming.

I can almost guarantee that the movie does not portray Holmes positively.
