Anti male woke garbage focuses on an over qualified Mary sue who knows everything and doesn't need anyone or to show respect to anyone. Production value is high but the writing is awful. Turned it off after first 20 mins.

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

I'm not much of a Sherlock Holmes fan, but I think I might be an Enola Holmes fan. I find her youthful, curious way of approaching situations to be quite refreshing for the genre.

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.… Expand

They take some liberties that Holmes devotees may find extreme, but it’s all in good fun. The acting is solid with Millie Bobbie Brown standing out as she did in Stranger Things. Her future is bright. The mystery itself is adequate with a couple of nice twists. There is a coming of age romance that seems appropriately handled. Hopefully Netflix will turn this into a series. There are too few shows adults and teens can enjoy together.… Expand

The music is fair enough. The acting is very balanced in my opinion. Cavill and Millie are absolutely steeling the movie. The ending is very emotional. Don't expect a great detective mystery, it's more an adventure movie. I give it a good 84%. I usually don't like when studios recycle Sherlock, or AC Doyle stuff... but I must say this was done with a lot of joviality and enough interest, that it deserve some kudos.… Expand

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.… Expand

Sam Claflin Was Also Good ....Story Was Not Bad But I Think Their Could Write a Better Story For This Movie To be enjoyed by most age groups, not just teenagers.... 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!… Expand

'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.… Expand

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.

The premise is acceptable: we don't know anything about Sherlock's family and his brother Mycroft was introduced out of the blue, so Enola and their mother might have existed and be this quirky, no problems with that. M.B. Brown does a decent job but she's no Audrey Tautou, or at least the movie makes her look more like a caricature than a relatable character.
Those are the good parts. The bad parts is a victorian London that feels like a trite stereotype from people who know nothing about it and, worse, not something Doyle would have wrote. Both Sherlock brothers are done wrong, especially Mycroft. I read all the damn books and this felt like some fanfiction written in America, especially the awful dialogues.
Then, the cringy af feminism. Nobody herd that word in the 1880s and the only instances of modernity in Sherlock Holmes books are found at end of the series, 20 years later, when Queen Victoria dies and the characters realize the world is changing.
Whether Doyle's victorian London was realistic or not, at least the guy lived there. The writers here obviously didn't, and didn't even care enough to pretend.… Expand

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.… 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… Expand
