Maureen Lee Lenker Entertainment Weekly While the mystery might be elementary (my dear, notably absent, Watson), the storytelling is winkingly subversive, proclaiming that a new and welcome game is afoot. Rated: B+ Feb 14, 2021 Full Review Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) Buoyant and precocious without being even slightly annoying, Brown has pinpoint comic timing, infectious perk, and a wholesome, tomboyish aura: imagine a young Keira Knightley crossed with Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Rated: 3/5 Nov 20, 2020 Full Review Lindsey Bahr Associated Press "Enola Homes" is the kind of movie that the preteen set will surely delight in and watch over and over. I know I would have. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 30, 2020 Full Review Yasmine Kandil Discussing Film This tale gives us the comfort of characters we know and love with a brand new style and rhythm. Rated: 4/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Nadine Whitney Mr. Movie's Film Blog Indubitably, with Enola Holmes, the game is indeed afoot for a quality adventure and decent mystery; but mostly, the audience will be enchanted by the young detective and her humor and humanity. Sep 17, 2023 Full Review Jillian Chilingerian Offscreen With Jillian Millie Bobbie Brown stars as the title character in Enola Holmes. Brown, known as Eleven on Stranger Things, is radiant in this mature role where she is obviously having the time of her life. Aug 22, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Aluna U Enola Holmes, adapted from Nancy Springer's novel, offers a refreshing twist on the detective genre by spotlighting Sherlock's lesser-known sister. While not as intellectually intense as classic mysteries, the film shines with engaging storytelling, emotional depth, and important themes like feminism and self-discovery. Millie Bobby Brown’s charismatic performance and the film’s unique fourth-wall narration keep viewers involved. Though it may not fully satisfy mystery purists, it delivers a light yet meaningful experience filled with action, heart, and purpose.
