Millie Bobby Brown's performances was phenomenal, she gave a perfectly balanced performance where she played her as both a very smart and intelligent woman who was also very strong physically and mentally and can do whatever she puts her mind to. Helena Bonham Carter and Sam Claflin gave terrific supporting performances. The costumes were just exceptional and gorgeous especially on Millie Bobby Brown, Helena Bonham Carter, Frances de la Tour, Henry Cavill, Louis Partridge, Sam Claflin, and all of the gowns and dresses. The makeup and hairstyling were outstanding especially on Millie Bobby Brown, Helena Bonham Carter, Susie Wokoma, Henry Cavill, Adeel Akhtar, Frances de la Tour, Hattie Morahan, and Louis Partridge. The sets were spectacular and extremely authentic looking. The fight choreography was awesome and extremely realistic looking. The writing was superb. The music was excellent. This was an A+ movie.

I agree with the positive pro reviews here. The break teh fourth wall gambits do increase the narrative energy, at least with this wonderful lead actress. The sufragette plotline breaks the 4th wall but without it you have only Masterpiece Theater. If you liked Young Sherlock Holmes, this has nearly the same verve and dynamism. Shout out to the convincing villany of Burn Gorham. I also think part of the verve of the cinematography is due to a smaller, lighter stedicam camera. If it was shot on an Iphone this would not surprise me either. Looks great and many unexpected camera angles used well. Expand

There are too few shows adults and teens can enjoy together. Expand

This is an impishly playful film that will entertain both younger and older audiences. The strongest aspect of the film is undoubtedly its flawless cast. Millie Bobby Brown, is like Enola, incredibly fun and likable. Enola is maybe an emancipated young woman, but in a good way. Henry Cavill and Sam Claflin are also as fine as are the rest of the cast. I only have one small caveat. Perhaps in the next part, which will hopefully be created, it would be better if the creators went their own way and were just inspired by the book. The reason is that Enola, as a character, deserves a more complicated case after all, which she would have to solve and I would also not be afraid of a greater interaction between her and Sherlock. Personally, I would appreciate it if Sherlock became a mentor for Enola. If all the movies on Netflix had the same cool vibe as Enola Holmes, that would be very nice. Expand

The casting is great overall, although Cavill is too fit and muscular to play Sherlock I think. His acting works just fine, but his buffed look does seem a bit off considering the character of Sherlock probably didn't hit the gym all that much.

Millie Bobby Brown is perfectly suited for the role of Enola. She's delightful and witty in just the right ways.

Great movie! A positive surprise.

Don't expect a great detective mystery, it's more an adventure movie. I give it a good 84%.

Her penchant for things like regularly breaking the fourth wall is just as charming as the actress she's being brought to lifeA family-friendly take on the mystery movie formula. Sherlock's younger sister is an endearingly quirky character. Her penchant for things like regularly breaking the fourth wall is just as charming as the actress she's being brought to life by (Stranger Things' Millie Bobby Brown). In a lot of ways she's like a less annoying Harley Quinn. Watching her try to find her place in the world while navigating her dysfunctional family dynamic is a sympathetic journey to see unfold. One that lets Brown show off how talented of a star she actually is by pairing her with far more experienced actors and letting her carry the big emotional moments.

The story is quite bloated. Largely because there are two separate plot threads going on at the same time. They do end up tying together in a satisfying way by the end, but there's still a lot that feels like it could have been cut out. This really didn't need to be over two hours long. Also, one of the mysteries seems to only be included so that a love interest can be established for Enola. Something that is not only unnecessary, but handled in a totally cliché manner to boot. It's one of those dynamics where she berates him the entire time because apparently that's what a strong independent woman does when they have a crush on somebody and he likes her back anyway.

This is a very political film. Though not in a bad way because it realizes that you don't have to belittle men in order to empower women. Making this easily the best piece of blatant feminism we've gotten since Trump got elected into office. Maybe even before that.

It tries it's hand at the whole drawing parallels between how women are treated today and how they were treated in the past thing as well, but it's far less successful on that front. In its defense, I don't think I've ever seen anything do a good job of that though. Every time someone tries all we really get is a critique of the viewpoints people had years prior, which yeah we know were bad, with very little actually being said about our present state. Enola Holmes is no exception. It is a cute little adventure however, and has clear franchise potential. The groundwork has already been laid for a great sequel. All that would be needed are a tighter script with more focus, more familial interactions with the rest of the cast, less inconsequential romance, and maybe a slightly larger role for Henry Cavill who gives a career best performance as the most famous Holmes. Yet, even if that never happens I at least got to spend a fun afternoon filled with laughs and heart watching a young lady who may just be my new favorite detective. That's enough for me for now.

The atmosphere of the film is one of its positive points , in Film We Saw Old England And the atmosphere was so good that the feeling of old England was well conveyed to the viewer And that makes me happy.....With all these conditions and positive points, but the script problems still bother me and most of the viewers of the film, so I decided to give a score of 7!

Do not mind the extremely low reviews written by close-minded men that feel uncomfortable with Netflix's position about women's empowerment.
Millie Bobby Brown was the perfect choice for the part of Enola, delivering great acting and really bringing the character to life.
Henry Cavill and Sam Clafling were also good choices, but unfortunately they do not get enough screen time to allow us to really connect with their characters. Sadly, this is the case for most of the characters. Helena Bonham Carter is an amazing actress and I was excited to see her as Eudoria Holmes but I can't help but feel like her potential was wasted since we don't get a chance to know Eudoria in depth. I know, I know... the whole idea is that Eudoria is missing but it's Helena Bonham Carter, the more the better.
Hopefully we get a sequel and get a chance to spend more time with these characters.
The screenplay was clever and interesting enough to make me care for the plot, although it feels like halfway though the movie they just change it completely and never come back to how it started.
Good camera work, animations, colors and scenarios. Nothing else to say about it.
In the end, it's a progressive thinking movie and a refreshing take on the Sherlock Holmes franchise and it was done extremely well and I can only hope it's the first of many Enola Holmes movies we see.

Not sure I'd like this as much if it was without Millie Bobby Brown, who is excellent.

'Enola Holmes' is a good film, even if it does hold issues. The plot isn't one that entertained me that much, the mystery elements are average, though it still has a few moments. The humour is solid, as it just about everything else. I didn't love the constant "fourth wall breaking", but Brown helps make it work to the point it didn't get annoying.

Louis Partridge impresses too. Henry Cavill and Sam Claflin are strong casts to play Sherlock and Mycroft. I liked seeing Burn Gorman and Adeel Akhtar in their respective roles. The cast, as a whole, are enjoyable.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this get multiple sequels, I actually reckon it could turn into a good if unspectacular series - as long as Brown sticks around.

The first half was excellent but then the rest were like they are in a hurry and just do it summarily. The idea of mixing the feminism problem did a great job when none of us will have an idea of why they are mixing it, but that storyline has made me feel very unfinished. It should've been longer but maybe because of the pandemic that we have missed an Oscar winner. The character was a huge success. They were perfectly suitable for the film which makes me have no complaints about them.
It was a very potential film, an opening end but were satisfied

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all this is based on a 2006 book, which led to a long running book series that ran from 2006 to 2010, so contrary to what people are claiming this isn't a story made up by "woke" Hollywood.

I quite enjoyed this film. It was charming with a great cast, Henry Cavill was a pretty good incarnation of the great detective himself, Millie Bobby Brown was quite good in the title role. The film does have its issues like the 4th wall breaking by Enola felt intrusive at times, I get the director was trying to find a witty way around the fact the books are in first person but I don't think it was needed, other than that and some issues, I quite liked the film and would like to see the other 5 books in the Enola Holmes series adapted.

Após o sumiço da mãe, a jovem se depara com os irmãos: o famoso detetive e o outro irmão odioso (bem caricaturado), e a menina parte em busca da mãe, claro, com vários enigmas e pistas pelo caminho, ao mesmo tempo absurdo e criativo.
A parte técnica e do design de produção são as melhores coisas que o filme pode proporcionar, porque Enola encontra pelo caminho um Conde fugitivo que, sinceramente, todo o arco narrativo em torno dele é bem forçado. O garoto também está em fuga, e misteriosamente aparece e reaparece de acordo com o que roteiro acha melhor.
Aí, parando pra pensar, tanto o sumiço da mãe quanto a fuga do menino nem se justificam, é o tipo de situação que poderia ser resolvido muito mais fácil, mas ficou enrolando só pra ter filme. Ao menos a Enola é simpática o suficiente e ela e o rapaz tem muita química juntos.
Jurava que o Sherlock seria mais astuto, mas ao menos ele reconhece a sagacidade da irmã, e o diálogo entre eles são bem inspirados. Uma pena que a maioria dos coadjuvantes não passam de caricaturas superficiais, entregando um filme muitas vezes rasos. Ainda assim, um passatempo assistível.

Millie Bobbie Brown is a very talented actress and I’m excited to see where her career goes from here and she is easily the best part of this film. She brings a lot of energy to the role and while her 4th wall breaking and script she is given may not be good, she’s still trying. Henry Cavill also does a pretty good job here too and I wish we got to see more of his take on Sherlock Holmes. The film is well shot but it doesn’t do anything creative with its shots and the production design, costume design, and score are all pretty good. Everything else however was definitely below average. The plot is fast which is nice but certain elements of the story are not engaging at points. The setups and pay offs are so predictable that you could see them coming from a mile away. The editing is very dull and rapid and there are some very obvious green screen moments here and there. I took a lot of issue with the 4th wall breaks. It felt out of place and awkward at many points and really ground the film to a halt when it happened. I know they need to explain some elements but it could have been done much better than that. Go check this out on Netflix if you are a fan of Millie Bobbie Brown or Henry Cavill or if you enjoy the universe of Sherlock Holmes. If you don’t like any of those elements, then you can definitely pass on this. Expand

Millie Bobby Brown does a serviceable job as Enola Holmes but she just doesn't have the level of charisma and screen magnetism required to carry the movie. The constant fourth wall asides to the camera are overdone and get old quickly. Henry Cavill is spectacularly miscast as Sherlock Holmes. He couldn't be further from the character I've read in the books if he tried, and Mycroft comes across as being just plain evil which contradicts his character in the novels. I also didn't like the fact that the mother of Sherlock Holmes is a wannabe terrorist. The whole thing is very like a lot of the movies I've seen that were made in the last few years where the main female lead is a Mary Sue and all the men are evil/incompetent. The colour-blind casting is also very jarring, particularly with Lestrade. The great character of Sherlock Holmes being lectured on white privilege by a black woman (in 19th century England?) was cringe-worthy. Overall I felt the movie was an insult to the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle if I'm honest. Expand

Yes, the movie has a feminist twist to it (which reaches its peak when a woman yells at a man "men are useless!" with no repercussions), but part of that is because the film deals with the women's suffrage movement in England. Fine - I canYes, the movie has a feminist twist to it (which reaches its peak when a woman yells at a man "men are useless!" with no repercussions), but part of that is because the film deals with the women's suffrage movement in England. Fine - I can deal with that. However, the movie is still fairly boring. Did you think that this movie was going to be about Enola looking for her mother? Don't worry, about 15 minutes into the film, she abandons that idea and spends the rest of the movie looking for a boy. By the end of the film, so much is left unresolved that I wonder what the point of it was.

I will say that Millie Bobby Brown is a great actress and her 4th-wall breaking moments were definitely the highlight of the film. At the same time, why is it that the best part of a movie is the part where only one actress is speaking, and not to any other characters?

I'm amazed this film is getting so much appreciation considering how weak its plot is.
Especially its remarkable lack of development.

I find it incredible (even considering the nature of the characters) the evident emotional detachment shown at the beginning of the story.

Are you telling me that the main character is waking up on her birthday and her mother is nowhere to be found, plus she didn't say where she was going and she doesn't seem worried about it?
There's a certain sadness in her tone, but frankly, she doesn't seem interested in her whereabouts.

After that, she's reunited with her two brothers after several years without seeing them and they obviously don't recognize her, and she acts as if nothing is happening?
And then the first real emotional reaction she shows is when she finds out that she's being sent to school? Who the hell wrote this?

Now, I can't blame Millie Bobby Brown for that. At the end of the day, she does try to bring charisma to the matter, with her constant breaking of the fourth wall. However, everything that surrounds her despite seeming built with the intention of enhancing her character, it cannot help feeling ruinous and empty.

Mycroft is a pain in the ass. He's mean and annoying. Whereas Sherlock seems to be so disconnected from everything, that he becomes completely useless.
I fully understand that neither of them are characters that need an emphasis in this story, but it wasn't about disappearing them in such a way.

The most ironic of all, is that Enola Holmes seems to be grappling with one thing at first and then changes its focus very quickly.
Although its approach in tone is clearly lighter, that didn't mean that it should become so bland and this is because the script is very weak, this despite all the topics it tries to cover.

Because the film is mainly an origin story, but it is also a family drama, a thriller with political elements, there's also the feminist commentary and gender roles, even reaching the fields of romantic comedy, and if your script is not so solid to complement all these elements, it is more than clear that there will be much to criticize.
Apparently this film didn't get the message of: the one who grasps at too much loses everything.

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but it seems to me that a lot of people decided to leave out many of their flaws.
I guess this is because they enjoyed this story much more because it was a feel-good movie within the Netflix standard.
And while it may be, I doubt there will be more talk about Enola Holmes beyond a couple of weeks from now.

I was going to give it two stars. It won the extra half star because of the great production work and the musical score.

It's also a very sad piece of work that can not help throwing in modern politics(which won't age well), ignoring things like zeitgeist and the real issue back then between the poor and the rich (which still is).

I wouldn't mind a strong female character in a deep well thought out story. Enough games and movies have proven that such things are easy to be expected 'with good writers', those are sadly not found here and only feed the real sexists found on the far right 'and' far left.

"Enola Holmes" es la primera película de Harry Bradbeer, quien tiene una carrera extensa en la televisión, y está escrita por Jack Thorne, cuyo mayor éxito fue colaborar en la adaptación del guion en la película "Wonder" (2017). "Enola Holmes" es una historia inofensiva que hace muy poco para inspirar y demasiado para entretener. El guion es culpable de ambas, tanto por "mal representar" un propósito socialmente importante como por querer llenar la película de aventuras igualmente mal desarrolladas. La trayectoria de Enola es desenfocada y se otorga responsabilidades que la desvían de su propio objetivo. Los "nuevos" caminos le permiten aprender del mundo y de ella misma, pero esto provoca que la autonomía de Enola esté a la disposición de los menos responsables. Como diciendo "yo soy más inteligente que tú, tomaré responsabilidad de tus problemas" (una idea algo irresponsable que promueve el abuso). En fin, esto se disfraza con un romance mudo y entre miradas de la forma más cliché posible y elimina cualquier propósito de empoderamiento en la película. Las ideologías de los demás personajes son tan drásticas que no permite ningún debate. Todos estaremos de acuerdo con lo mismo de siempre. También hay un esfuerzo por hacer notar que Enola no lo sabe todo y eso trata de agregar intriga y madurez al ambiente, pero realmente solo genera una auto-contradicción que anula cualquier lección previamente aprendida. Por lo tanto, la actuación de Millie Bobby Brown se reduce a un personaje con poco sentido que le gusta hablar consigo misma, y Henry Cavill, Sam Claflin, Helena Bonham, Louis Partridge y Fiona Shaw no aportan ni muestran un impulso importante. El único esfuerzo visual, aunque no sorprende, es el vestuario. Ni la fotografía, ni la música. "Enola Holmes" falla en llamar la atención de jóvenes y adultos en esta historia, pues esta película es una monótona distracción que entretiene solo a las audiencias poco experimentadas.

"Enola Holmes" is the first movie of Harry Bradbeer, who has a long career in TV Shows, and is written by Jack Thorne, whose greatest success has been collaborating in the adaptation of the script of "Wonder" (2017) movie. "Enola Holmes" is an inoffensive story that makes too little to inspire and too much to entertain. The script is to blame for both of them: for wrongly presenting a socially relevant purpose and for wanting to fill the movie with adventures equally poorly developed. Enola's trajectory is blurry and takes responsibilities that divert her from her own mission. The "new" paths allow her to learn from the world and from herself, but this causes that Enola's autonomy to be in the disposition of those less responsible. Like saying "I'm more intelligent than you, I'll take responsibility of your problems" (an irresponsible idea that promotes abuse). Anyway, this is disguised by a speechless romance between glances made in the most cliche possible way and erases any empowerment purpose of the movie. The other character's ideologies are too drastic that they don't permit any debate. We all will be agree with the same things as always. There's also an effort to show that Enola "doesn't know everything" and tries to add some intrigue and maturity in the ambient, but that only creates a self-contradiction that nullifies any lection previously learned. Therefore, the acting of Millie Bobby Brown gets reduced to a character with not much sense that likes to speak to herself. Henry Cavill, San Claflin, Helena Bonham, Louise Partridge, and Fiona Shaw doesn't provide or show any relevant acting moment. The only visual effort, but not surprising, is the costume design. Not photography, nor music. "Enola Holmes" fails to call the attention of young and grown-ups in this story since this movie is a monotonous distraction that will entertain only the least experimented audiences.

Sherlock Holmes is in the Movie and plays the “bad farther” roll. Meaning more often than not he is lectured through out the movie. The movie employs the “Mary Sue” writing style. Enola is a young child that understands the world better than Sherlock Holmes. She is a better fighter than a trained assassin. She commands the respect of adults regardless of her age due to her superior intellect. If the viewer at any point catches on to type of movie it is easy to figure out that the villain must be a woman. In these movies any character of note is generally a woman. Finally the message of the movie is that world needs to change and become more progressive which is made clear in the first act.

Weather you like this genre of film or not it has interesting parts. The movie tries to keep a balance of a strong feminist story and an interesting story for everyone. Enola is a great fighter. The movie makes sure to show her learn this skill. She has a superior intellect and her education is shown through the movie. The lead actress has proven herself many times over and is entertaining. The movie does a good job of fixing issues with this genre but at the end of the day it’s more of the same. With lines like “your a man when I say you are” and Sherlock Holme’s character being lectured by an African American (England?) women about white privilege it just detracts from the story. V/R

Do producers truly believe you can't hold a modern attention for more than five minutes? Brown's performance lifts the material a little and the backdrops are nice but that's about it. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Enoka Holmes has the enigmatic female who is quite a Mary Sue. The film also lacks that spark that Sherlock Holmes usually has, to replace it, the movie decided to wallow in ambiguity, while threading a forsaken path to achieve success. The subplots and characters were never given space instead only Enola must have more than 10 sentences in the film, only Enola must be the achiever, nobody must be as smart as Enola, e.t.c. The brilliance of this film was Millie Bobbie Brown who excelled at her role and brought Enola to live, Henry Cavill's appearance was quite interesting yet vain as he served no purpose but to show how clever Enola is. The film ended all subplots in a quite subpar way, leaving the other characters stuck in a place where we can't quite seem to remember, meanwhile the main ending seemed forced, as if the directors were in a hurry to kill the grandma or at least cut her from filming and
stop paying her wages. This filmed was marked for brilliance, but settled in inferiority. Though as it came out in a period where feminism chants were exploding, it achieved fame as a 'nice film highlighting the power of women in a role previously unexplored in a period where men are not supportive... Blah blah blah'. All in all, the film is an uncreative film that lent from the popularity of a superior former production to achieve success in it's mediocrity. I can wager that if this film was never affiliated with Sherlock Holmes, it would be a big failure not worth mentioning or viewing

Despite having a great cast that makes this movie watchable, Enola Holmes suffers from terrible writing and a bland story that fails to be even remotely interesting. Not to mention the crippling slow pace that the second act suffers from.Despite having a great cast that makes this movie watchable, Enola Holmes suffers from terrible writing and a bland story that fails to be even remotely interesting.

Woke YA script that may have an impressive cast, but cannot help but destroy itself with modern messaging and the pathological need to tear down legacy characters, in the pretense of building new ones.

The story tries to hang on to the Holmes name, an attempt to create a character based on a family name so a book's author, producers and long etcetera could made money. At the end you get a cringe and woke story. The ambientation was wellThe story tries to hang on to the Holmes name, an attempt to create a character based on a family name so a book's author, producers and long etcetera could made money. At the end you get a cringe and woke story. The ambientation was well made. The acting was quite good but not enough to be interesting. Expand

Muy aburrida. Diálogos tontos e infantiles y malas actuaciones. No merece la pena verla.
