Critics Consensus

Enola Holmes brings a breath of fresh air to Baker Street -- and leaves plenty of room for Millie Bobby Brown to put her effervescent stamp on a franchise in waiting.

B+

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.

3/5

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.

2.5/4

"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.

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.

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.

I would rather saw my head off with a rusty spoon than watch this movie ever again. The fake feminism, the overdone fourth wall breaks, the predictable plot, the shallow characters, the nonsensical fight scenes. This movie has not only ruined the characterization of Sherlock Holmes, but has reduced him to a bumbling, emotional idiot that is outdone by a sixteen-year-old girl that is barely able to solve a simple anagram. The fight scenes are simply unrealistic, with many of the weapons and choreography being so obviously not possible within the given parameters. Helena Bonham Carter has once again taken on a fake feminist role that barely benefits the people around her, and the minimum amount of effort was put into her being a suffregette. It is an unsympathetic role that abandons her child for a riot that never happens and is easily taken apart by the young girl. Millie Bobby Brown’s acting is frigid and painful to watch, which is only compounded by the over-dramatized and rushed script. The fact that she is supposed to represent a bright young girl of that caliber is . . . sad.

A good mix of drama, action, and humor. The acting was good. It was an interesting storyfrom beginning to end. It's definitely worth a watch.

Very fun movie, Millie Bobby Brown was great as Holmes, the 4th wall breaks and "Jimming the camera" is definitely a choice, but I didn't mind it. The action scenes were thrilling and well choreographed, very Guy Richie Sherlock like. What I didn't like was Henry Cavil as Sherlock, just wasn't the most believable portrayal I've seen, but he did alright. 8/10
