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

Audience Member Enola Holmes is about Sherlock Holmes' little sister, Enola Holmes. Hence the name of the movie. Enola is a clever, curious young woman who decides after the prologue of the film to run away from home to go after her missing mother, who ran away the night of her sixteenth birthday. Another reason she runs away is to avoid being sent to a finishing school for young ladies by one of her older brothers, Mycroft, who becomes her guardian after her mother disappears. Mycroft is an arrogant, haughty know-it-all who believes that Enola is too untamed to enter British society and that she needs to be better educated. Now, back to Enola for a bit. Enola knows she also has to cover her tracks the best she can so she isn't caught by Sherlock, her other older brother. Sherlock is a witty, observant detective who you've probably heard of even if you haven't seen Enola Holmes. Anyway, lets move on to the train scene. When Enola is on the train to London she meets Tewkesbury, a timid but smart young upper class man who is actually a runaway himself. Initially Enola wants to leave him behind to continue her trip to London on her own, but then a man in a brown bowler hat tries to kill him so she ends up saving his life instead. To evade the man previously mentioned, Enola and Tewkesbury then make their risky escape by jumping off the train into a grassy field. After that the film basically outlines the rest of their what happens after the two of them both make it to London. Enola changes disguises once she reaches the city proper and true to her family name, ends up wrapped up in a mystery plot having to do with the attempted murder of Tewkesbury himself. She spends the rest of the film trying to figure out both who wants him dead and why. This movie is one of my favorites! I have watched it at least three times and recommended it to several other people. The characters are quite enjoyable and the sets and costumes were both amazing. If you like a good mystery movie with a touch of drama, I would definitely recommend Enola Holmes. It will not disappoint. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review J M Breaking the forth wall was super annoying. They should've just left it at the beginning, but the whole movie? 🤦‍♂️ too much Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Laze T Yea this movie was pretty good and a nice little edition to my collection of movies definitely give it a try Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Sier D I'm Enola which stands for alone! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Kylie Y I like period dramas so I was looking forward to Enola Holmes. It's not particularly memorable but still an enjoyable watch and I look forward to a part III if it ever gets made. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Guilherme L MASTERPIECE. Personagens extremamente bem construídos; cenários incríveis; atuações perfeitas; uma trama de um verdadeiro inspetor; mistérios de sobra, e, uma mensagem incrível sobre os diretos igualitários na Inglaterra Vitoriana. Esta obra representou muito bem: o quotidiano, as características e os comportamentos do século XIX. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
