Enola Holmes

One of the more recent films to be released this year was Enola Holmes , directed by Harry Bradbeer. In this film, Enola (Millie Bobby Brown) uses her expert sleuthing skills in her search to find her recently-missing mother, evade her meddling brothers Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and Mycroft (Sam Claflin), and help her new friend, a runaway lord. Set in 1880s England, the film explores many different areas of the nation, ranging from the slums of London to the estate of Basilweather. This film is filled with twists and turns that leave the watcher wondering what will happen next. Fans of mysteries, comedies, and action films will all find something to enjoy with this film. The theme of individual empowerment runs throughout the film, as Enola shows everyone that she doesn’t need anyone’s help, and is just as capable on her own. Some things were a little cliché, that’s all I can say without major spoilers. Overall, a very good movie with a satisfying ending. 8/10
