Sherlock Holmes fanfiction written (apparently) by a freshman Women's Studies major who lives on Tumblr. Has some of the most egregious examples of shoehorning anachronistic race and gender politics into a movie I've ever seen. By the time our Mary Sue protagonist discovers a women-only Jiu Jitsu dojo run by a sassy black woman in 1880s London, I was done.

Such a strong, promising opening but quickly nosedived and never recovered with cheap green screen, no chemistry or reason for the young romance, monotonous 'mother' flashbacks before every action Enola is forced to take, and a dull underlying story. The feminist bell is rang loud and clear throughout as well just in case we might have missed it ten minutes previously and the ten minutes before that ... etc etc. Maybe this is aimed purely at kids, I dunno, it just seemed to have more potential

Enola Holmes can't shake its conceptually flawed vibe as it throws in numerous plot elements, tones & stylistic trickery. Enola's moments of action & adventure are great, but the film suffers every time the Holmes connection is made or a conversation had. Ironically, Cavill delivers the better performance while Brown seems to compensate with loudness. Half-hearted 4th-wall breaks & a script steeped in manufactured misogyny and glossy-progressiveness are the weakest parts of the film.

Too many Netflix movies feel like a pilot to a TV series we'll never get to see. This, with its shorthand characters and approximately 13 different plots, bucks the trend by feeling more like an entire TV series we never got to see, edited down to 2 hours with a hacksaw.

A bit too long and the mysteries are neither particularly engaging nor remarkably satisfying, but Enola is a charming protagonist and the film is quick and fun. A lighthearted and entertaining family flick.

A plot, Enola searches for her mom, B plot Enola searches for her bf, C plot, Sherlock searches for Enola, D plot Mycroft tries to put Enola into a boarding school, E plot, Scotland Yard gets involved, F plot, hitman, G plot, suffrage, H plot... My lord what a clusterfuck and a disappointment! The ending hardly made sense. I was very let down by the gaping plot hole where Sherlock was woefully ignorant of plot developments he SHOULD have known since he talks to Mycroft on a daily basis...

Direction's so lively that this mostly zips by despite the script's flaws. The problems are the occasional Huh? moments that plague any Holmes movie as sometimes the heroes deduce & make shaky assumptions that fortunately prove correct; & its unclear what the mom planned (maybe bc it'd ruin the movie). There's also some fortunately rare "Wokeness". Girl power & anachronisms are not new but a 19th century black woman verbally berating a rich white man for his privilege? Is she oppressed or not?

I'm so torn about this. Hated it when I read about it, like "WTF? Another classic character turned into anything-goes-as-long-as-it's-not-a white-man-just-because-we-are-so-woke-now for no reason at all than just that?" Turns out that Holmes is still allowed to be a white man, but then I don't get why they had to involve him at all. As a S. Holmes movie it sucks since she's not as him at all, just like 007 with Daniel Craig isn't 007, but it's still an OK flick, just not a Sherlock Holmes flick.

A light-hearted adventurous romp through 19th Century England. It was entertaining and sometimes fun. Millie Bobby Brown carried the lead well at just 16 years old. The story has a few silly puzzles, outdated morals, talking directly to the camera, and a few missing person sub-plots. Overall, it is worthwhile but most suitable for a teenage audience.

Cute, charming fun for enough of the run time to be an okay watch. Also, interestingly this film has a turbo-woke take on political violence which whether you agree with it or not is pretty interesting, purely based on its inclusion in a kids movie. Other than that there isn't really anything in the film that blows the doors off compared to other detective stories or other YA stories.

Judging it as a kid movie, it is pretty harmless. Not necessarily bad, not excessively exciting. I guess the modern kids who are like the ones who liked Harriet the Spy in the 90's can enjoy this. Young kids might find this boring.

A slightly overlong but engaging mix of cheeky teen escapades (the 4th wall breaks are mostly fun; the bookending narrations and title cards are a bit much) and gritty action and drama. The flashbacks tie in well, as do the various little mysteries surrounding Mom and Tewkesbury with Enola’s arc of finding her way as an independent gal in a constricting world, though the feminist politics could’ve been stronger (it goes from “making noise” to not really). Great acting and production design.

Sassy black dojo owner chews out upperclass Mr. Holmes in the Victorian era? I think not. But they don’t make Enola smarter or better than Sherlock, they don’t make him dumb, they don’t eschew romance or feel a need to overly explain it (someone complained that the romance was random - when isn’t it?). The climactic scene was utterly absurd & the script was a sieve. Very heavyhanded with “messaging” to the extent that they outright spelled out the moral in the narration and dialogue. Still cute.

Enjoyably old-fashioned adventure yarn propels itself on the back of its fun and charismatic cast, with Brown a particularly delightful heroine. Thankfully lacks the sanitised violence that is often utilised in kiddie/tween pictures, and goes into some unexpectedly dark (and brutal) places at times. The good spirits of the cast and the snappy action scenes help you forget the basic familiarity of the material, and like many modern action adventures it doesn't quite know when to quit.

It's a mix. The characters are great except for Enola's mother who really didn't make any sense. Unfortunately she also had a quite important role in the movie. It was a very weak point. The script is also well written, but the conclusion of an important mystery was unsatisfying. I felt like the solution wasn't built up at all. I can still recommend it if you are interested in either Holmes or a young independent female protagonist in Victorian England. Just don't get your expectations too high.

This movie is ... fine. It has a tediously frenetic pace and an exceedingly lightweight story, but Brown is really good, and I kind of like Cavill as a big, hunky Sherlock Holmes who doesn't really seem to be all that smart. I don't think I'm the intended audience for this. It feels like a Disney+ original meant to provide a really good inspiration for pre-teen girls, and as that ... it's pretty damn good.

It's been a while since I last read Sherlock Holmes and that's solely on me and should be rectified immediately, but I don't remember Mycroft being the white male supremacist he is portrayed as here. The movie itself was okay. The final reveal of the murderer managed to surprise me and while "Much younger sister of Sherlock Holmes" has been the start of many a Mary Sue, but they managed to have Enola do her own thing and not just copy his powers of deduction.

An okay watch, but seems more aimed at teens or children than adults. Although the violence is pretty graphic at places. I think it would've been better with better mysteries and less one-dimensional characters. I also didn't enjoy the constant breaking of the fourth wall. Wouldn't recommend it but perhaps it was simply not made for me.

So Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes was actually pretty great. I'd enjoy seeing Sherlock as a secondary character through the eyes of someone running a parallel story line. Unfortunately, this film does that using the eye-rolling antics of Millie Bobby Brown, and a movie with just Enola Holmes is not a film I'd be overly excited to watch. In the end, this barely gets a pass from me, despite being entertaining enough.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I liked that it breaks the fourth wall, with the titular character talking to the viewers i.e. via the camera. There's good CGI/effects, fight scenes et al and an interesting enough plotline to keep me watching throughout. There's some reasonably witty dialogue and its definitely an enjoyable watch, so yes, I'd recommend this. It's maybe not greatly deep or meaningful but its a decent bit of entertainment with a good cast regardless.

Millie Bobby Brown is a likable young star who takes this role and makes it fun. The story is far from deep enough to warrant Sherlock Holmes being necessary but I understand what this film was aiming for. It did things well, kept you entertained and set up the larger picture very nicely. Plus Henry Cavill is top tier casting as Sherlock Holmes.

Not only does this reek of preachy - including constant breaking of the fourth wall - 'girl power' nonsense (it's certainly not substantive feminism in action) but it also makes the mistake made by all films about Sherlock Holmes (and now his sister) which is to misclassify abductive reasoning as deductive reasoning. Continuing this Peircean line of critique, I'd rather watch a film about Victoria Lady Welby.

Hey, it's Sherlock's kid sister - Enola Holmes (2020)! I didn't even know that was a thing. Well, I'm open for it, as long as it brings more Arthur Conan Doyle-ish mysteries. Can't say this first one was of that quality, but it had hints at it and Millie Bobby Brown was all kinds of adorable in it, plus Superman was Sherlock! Nice try, at least.

I thought this was decent enough. I liked the character of Enola, and how it made for a slight twist on the typical Sherlock story, and I liked the action and direction, but some of the mystery elements didn't quite pay off as well as they should have for a story like this. That being said, I had fun watching it, and would watch a sequel.

A bland Sherlock Holmes mystery in the backdrop of the UK's suffrage movement. Probably could have done a lot more with that, but it was pretty much just in the background. Not sure what the deal was with the Mycroft character, it seems like they tried to make him mildly evil. Maybe that attracts a certain demographic, perhaps teens? Anyway, it's fine if you just need something to pass the time for two hours.

I sat through this thinking that it was somewhat charming with a commendable amount of verve to the direction. However, there was just something off. Something that made it feel kind of dumb, overstated and stilted. As the credits rolled, it all clicked. "Written by Jack Thorne". Who the fuck keeps giving this guy projects? Please for the love of God, there must be better screenwriters around. Not sure if Cavill is giving a good performance or I just love the guy. Millie does quite alright.
