Movie review:- Enola Holmes
Story-
Jumping straight on the screen breaking the fourth wall, we see Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) cycling while she takes us to the things we must know before getting ahead in the story. We discover she’s visiting Railway Station to welcome her brothers Sherlock Holmes (Henry Cavill) and Mycroft Holmes (Sam Claflin) to solve a case, the case of their lost mother Eudoria Holmes (Helena Bonham Carter).
As Enola starts to decipher the messages her mother has left for her, she starts to understand how this is a solo battle to fight. On her run to discover herself and try to find her lost mother, Enola meets Viscount Lord Tewksbury (Louis Partridge) He has his fair-share yesses and nos with Enola as she focuses on finding her mother. Rest, it’s all about whether Enola will truly be able to find what she’s looking for or she’ll just get what’s actually there?

Direction and Cinematography-
Being the most vibrant color-coded film of the year, Mr. Nuttigen makes an impressive camera use and lighting techniques to highlight the dosage of free and independent young girl, trying to gain freedom from the clutches of a "proper British lady". Mr. Bradbeer knows his vision to bring his heroine to Baker Street and turn her a franchise star.
ACTING:
Millie takes home a charm of her own, by bringing Enola from the books to the screen for her visceral teen beauty for people to fall in love with. Her wit and charm is constantly triggered by her free will and constraint borders, which serve as fresh air in the Holmes universe. Mr. Cavill is a poignant slueth, Sherlock, except I would still give Benedict proving a better Sherlock ( A Debate? ) Helena Bonham Carter is always graceful, one of the finest, most refined actors in the industry.Sam Claflin’s Mycroft is much messier than seen on the BBC’s version and actor plays it's perfectly.Louis Partridge pulls off a Timothee Chalamet as Viscount Lord Tewksbury. Thankfully, his character is balanced by the end after a quivering start. Rest all the actors lend adequate support.
Final Verdict:-
Enola Holmes is absolutely wonderful, quirky and charming. You'll absolutely love it, unless you're a Sherlock Holmes fan, then it quickly looses its charms. They basically change every character completely to fit the story, rendering them unrecognisable.Without much of a mystery to solve, this young Holmes comes across more like a junior-level Wonder Woman: intelligent and highly trained yet puzzled by this unfamiliar, unfair world of men.
The movie was less intriguing with no high level mystery whatsoever. It didn't seem as a whole, rather was scattered into bits and pieces which made it kind of dull. A-List cast but a weak storyline and a no-suspense mystery drowns Enola Holmes into disappointment.
My Rating : 2.5/5
