Critics Consensus

Enola Holmes brings a breath of fresh air to Baker Street -- and leaves plenty of room for Millie Bobby Brown to put her effervescent stamp on a franchise in waiting.

B+

While the mystery might be elementary (my dear, notably absent, Watson), the storytelling is winkingly subversive, proclaiming that a new and welcome game is afoot.

3/5

Buoyant and precocious without being even slightly annoying, Brown has pinpoint comic timing, infectious perk, and a wholesome, tomboyish aura: imagine a young Keira Knightley crossed with Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

"Enola Homes" is the kind of movie that the preteen set will surely delight in and watch over and over. I know I would have.

Indubitably, with Enola Holmes, the game is indeed afoot for a quality adventure and decent mystery; but mostly, the audience will be enchanted by the young detective and her humor and humanity.

Millie Bobbie Brown stars as the title character in Enola Holmes. Brown, known as Eleven on Stranger Things, is radiant in this mature role where she is obviously having the time of her life.

This is honestly one of my comfort movies and one of my favorites as a self proclaimed Holmesian. It is absolutely wonderful and the historical details they included have stuck with me, showing they clearly do their research. I continue to enjoy it even as I grow out of my teenage years, still coming back to it to feel joy and suspense. This is probably one of Millie Bobby Brown's best roles, and Henry Cavill is a better Sherlock than people would expect. There were some links in the mystery that didn't make complete sense, but that was pretty small in the grand scope of the film. I once heard someone claim that this movie is nothing more than cheesy feminist propaganda, but I hardly agree. There is a difference between propaganda and truth. Many of what this film and its sequels touch on was the reality for women in the 19th century, and again the people behind this did their homework because they don't attempt to make that truth seem better or worse than it actually was.

This movie was completely unnecessary—shallow, cheesy, and by no means suitable for adults.

Sweet movie with a nice mystery and some well made comedy. Probably would've enjoyed it more when I was younger and the blatant love story of Enola and Tewksebury seemed boring at times. Otherwise good though

Millie has done it again! This movie is funny, witty, and magical at times. Enola Holmes is brought to life so well and we see what a world she had to live in. Mixed with fun action and hard riddles, this film manages to blend great acting with hard reality. I definitely recommend this movie!
