Enola Holmes

Your life is your own, the future is up to you, paint your own picture. Heavily playing on the inequalities between boys and girls, women and men, in the past and in the present (sadly) - with a sweet and engaging tale at its heart but, more importantly, empowering your potential - which is limitless.

There will be those that will hate this film but you'll at least recognise them from their comments and reviews but above all their scores. They're afraid of you ladies - keep the pressure on and stand your ground.

Wonderful performances, great direction, engaging story, what's not to like and enjoy?

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. All of my preconceived notions of this movie were tossed out from the start. I'm so glad she's not a Mary Sue, with her flaws. 16 year olds weren't here children at the turn of the 20th century, so it's refreshing to showcase this. At the same time, they made an error, in my opinion. They made mention of the Ritz hotel, but it wasn't opened until 1906. Otherwise, everybody did a good job. Breaking the 4th wall was a nice touch as well.

I agree with one of the people who posted here. People very often view a film not for what it is, but what they either think it should be or want it to be. As the poster pointed out, this isn't a Quentin Tarantino film. It's well-done family entertainment about the adventures of a young woman, Enola Holmes, as she sets out to find her missing mother.

She's Sherlock's sister, and Sherlock and Mycroft appear in the form of Henry Cavill and Sam Clafin. I did not feel they registered much. The real star is Millie Bobby Brown as Enola. Her mother is played by Helena Bonham-Carter. Frances de la Tour, Louis Partridge, and Fiona Shaw make up a very good cast.

The film has wonderful production values, and I wonder if there are plans for future adventures of Enola. The film is really for teenaged women, and it's a lot of fun, with its emphasis on creative imagination and girl power.

People may tune in because of the Sherlock connection, but it's not really about him. It's about his sister. Amazing how that family keeps growing.

This movie was a lot of fun... I'm a fan of the action packed Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes films, and this felt a lot like a PG-13 version of those films... It's rated M for the action sequences, which were well done, but definitely had that PG feel to it. The production design, acting, soundtrack, and pacing of the story were all very good... I would have scripted the final 15 minutes differently, but it still worked in the scheme of the plot and the motivations of the main characters. Millie Bobby Brown is a great young actor and is again the corner stone of this film. A new take on a classic, just enjoy it for what we enjoy films for... A fun, engaging story...

This is the movie I wish I had at 15. This isn't about Sherlock Holmes. It's not about solving a mystery or surprising the audience. It's about a teenage girl finding out who she is. It was charming, funny, wonderfully acted, aesthetically pleasing, and sweet. If you are a grown man criticizing it, Back off. This wasn't made for you. Or me. This was made for 15 yro girls. And the fifteen year old girl in me LOVED it.
