Review of Enola Holmes (2020) by Felpsgp — 23 Sep 2020

Enola Holmes is a fun and fast paced movie with a good plot and good characters played by good actors and actresses. 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.
