If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog @ https://www.msbreviews.com 2020 is unquestionably one of the most challenging years movie theaters ever had to face. The still going global pandemic closed down everything, including my favorite place to spend the most wonderful time. Therefore, the already growing streaming services got a huge bump, earning more and more subscribers during this tough phase in our lives. Netflix has been extremely busy releasing brand-new flicks since the beginning of the year, being The Devil All The Time, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, and Project Power the latest. Some better than others, but I’m still to find a 2020’s original film from the studio that I genuinely dislike. Is Enola Holmes the first one? Well, no, far from that

Really good watch, might watch again, and can recommend. To absolutely fair, I'm not sure if this will appeal to Sherlock Holmes fans, but does expand the "Sherlock-verse", so make up your own mind. I love Millie Bobby Brown ("Stranger Things"), and this proves she is quite capable of not only leading a movie, but carrying the entire bloody thing.

Not sure I'd like this as much if it was without Millie Bobby Brown, who is excellent. <em>'Enola Holmes'</em> is a good film, even if it does hold issues.

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 - a

Enola Holmes, adapted from Nancy Springer's novel, offers a refreshing twist on the detective genre by spotlighting Sherlock's lesser-known sister. While not as intellectually intense as classic mysteries, the film shines with engaging storytelling, emotional depth, and important themes like feminism and self-discovery. Millie Bobby Brown’s charismatic performance and the film’s unique fourth-wall narration keep viewers involved. Though it may not fully satisfy mystery purists, it delivers a light yet meaningful experience filled with action, heart, and purpose.
