Fresh off the triumph of solving her first case, Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) follows in the footsteps of her famous brother, Sherlock (Henry Cavill), and opens her own agency -- only to find that life as a female detective-for-hire isn't as easy as it seems. Resigned to accepting the cold realities of adulthood, she is about to close shop when a penniless matchstick girl offers Enola her first official job: to find her missing sister. But this case proves to be far more puzzling than expected, as Enola is thrown into a dangerous new world -- from London's sinister factories and colorful music halls, to the highest echelons of society and 221B Baker Street itself. As the sparks of a deadly conspiracy ignite, Enola must call upon the help of friends -- and Sherlock himself -- to unravel her mystery. The game, it seems, has found its feet again!

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Building on its predecessor with boisterously entertaining flair, Enola Holmes 2 solves the mystery of how to make a satisfying sequel -- and makes it look positively elementary.

Audience Says

This franchise still definitely isn't for Sherlock purists, but Enola Holmes 2 is an entertaining follow-up to the original.

Laura Sirikul Empire Magazine Despite following the same formula as its predecessor, Enola Holmes 2 keeps up the charm and humour with a crafty mystery filled with entertaining twists and turns. Rated: 3/5 Mar 12, 2023 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) These Enola Holmes films are just great, striking an excellent balance of action, witty humor and a dark edge. Nov 29, 2022 Full Review Kimber Myers Crooked Marquee Even though it’s a sequel, set in a familiar world with characters who have appeared on screen in countless iterations, Enola Holmes 2 still manages to feel fresh. Rated: B+ Nov 24, 2022 Full Review Branyan Towe Loud and Clear Reviews Enola Holmes 2 improves on its predecessor and will make you want to see more films set in this franchise. It builds a fascinating new mystery for Enola Holmes and Sherlock Holmes to solve, one that will see both characters grow as they team up Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 29, 2024 Full Review Pallavi Keswani The Hindu A remarkable sequel that gives the audience a lively Holmes to cheer for. Jan 23, 2024 Full Review Manuel São Bento FirstShowing.net Enola Holmes 2 maintains the levels of light, adventurous fun of the original, surpassing it due to a much more cohesive, intriguing central narrative, in addition to overall better pacing.

Butter L I immediately went for Dash-2 after watching the first iteration. Millie Bobby Brown is such a great actor - - a delight. This was well-written and beautifully acted and appointed. Plus Henry Cavill as the hot frosting on a solid theatrical cake...yummmm... If you enjoy period dramas, you will love this fun and lighthearted version! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Jay W This movie is not for me. I do not care for 4th wall breaking protagonists. Unless it is especially funny or charming, a 4th wall break simply takes me out of the story and ruins my emersion. I also don't care for movies that begin with action in the middle of the movie, only to freeze frame and cut back to the real beginning of the story. Unless the return to that scene gets completely recontextualized on the repeat, it just seems like a lazy way to start off with a hook. I likewise don't like it when the reveal of the story is obvious. I don't like it when the criminal behind it is introduced in such a way that they are clearly the culprit. I would say that this is a good mystery for real little kids, but the movie rocks a PG-13 rating, so the children that would be fooled are not watching the movie. I don't like it when supposedly smart characters make such stupid decisions when it comes to things that should be common sense. For example, the way the main character acts a crime scene. I don't like when characters I'm supposed to be rooting for are more unlikable than the villains. I don't like when a movie feels like it is preaching to me, they are a bit on the nose with how poorly women were treated back in those days. It communicates a fine message, but they hammer it in a little too much. So yes, there is a LOT that I don't like in this movie. But on the positive side, the mystery isn't overly convoluted. One action leads to the next quite well. The movie doesn't waste too much of the audience's time, it is well paced. I like most of the main characters, it is just some of the side characters that get on my nerves. Cavil and Brown have good chemistry together and have more screen time together than the previous. And the final reveal isn't utter nonsense. I guess I am just a big fan of the Sherlock Holmes character, and am very particular about his portrayal. This one isn't awful, but if you're looking for a definitive Holmes mystery adventure, then this is just a red herring. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Jacob B A superior sequel to the first film, Enola Holmes 2 builds upon its predecessor's strengths and improves upon its shortcomings with a more compelling story, additional screen time for Henry Cavill's Sherlock without hogging the spotlight from the titular character, a more memorable villain and better blending of mystery, humour and suspense making for a fun Netflix adventure that's sure to leave you looking forward to a third film once Millie Bobby Brown finishes Stranger Things 5. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Tommy D This movie is fantastic. Enjoyed this more than the first one Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Will B Enjoyed this more than the first one Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Chloe S I wish I could give this movie a six out of five!!! It is my new favourite movie:) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
