2.5/4
The Malta setting and the movie’s “merry mess” make for a fine backdrop for Brown’s continuing evolution as a charming big, or small, screen presence. Go to Full Review

8/10
For fans, this is an exciting continuation, while newcomers will find it an entertaining mystery that stands confidently on its own. The future of the "Enola Holmes" franchise has never looked brighter. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
The key cast have ... established a refreshing chemistry that should carry Ms Holmes comfortably through another few films. Go to Full Review

Continues the franchise's tradition of being an acceptable way to pass a couple of hours. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Has a rather dull plot and is too busy trying to disguise the fact with all sorts of visual gimmicks. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba Jul 21
It’s all very tired and tiresome. The streaming franchise’s sense of fun has faded, the script is barely serviceable, and even Helena Bonham Carter can’t bring much life to the proceedings. Go to Full Review

David T @RT12351481 14h Super boring and woeful plot. Could not wait until it finished. Just dumb! See more Mac W @RT59895630 16h Terrible. Pathetic woke no plot to speak of.Woke characters. So historically inaccurate as to he laughable. Sherlock Holmes character nothing like Sherlock Holmes. Just a weak winger moaning on about being afraid. Waste of my life watching this rubbish See more shahad S @shahad1237 16h The plot was so boring and don’t get me started on Millie’s gel nails and lip filler im not a hater I’ve always loved her but her acting was really bad and the whole vibe was just off and it felt rushed See more Greg H @RT61937795 1d It seems that no one can come up with original stories anymore so they keep taking classic literature and creating some woke version. First you have to introduce a female character as part of the Holmes family then you have to have Watson be a person of colour and now Moriarity is a black woman? I doubt you could do this with any other culture and not face major criticism. See more Steve S @RT90458019 2d Woke Empire bashing at its worst. See more Ed S @RT14464626 2d Enola Holmes 3 completely abandons the charm and lighthearted mystery of the earlier films, trading an engaging detective story for heavy-handed, modern political lectures. ​From start to finish, the movie is weighed down by clunky, over-the-top subtexts pushing anti-capitalist and anti-colonialist tropes. Instead of feeling like an authentic Victorian-era mystery, the dialogue reads like a list of contemporary talking points. ​The character writing suffers immensely. Enola isn't written as a grounded, clever detective anymore; she’s flattened into an unassailable "girl boss" archetype who easily outsmarts everyone, leaving zero room for character growth or genuine tension. To make matters worse, the villains are as lazy as they are predictable—falling back on the tired cliché of cartoonishly evil, old white British military and government officials. ​If you enjoyed the original for its fun puzzles and witty adventure, skip this one. It prioritizes preaching to the audience over del See more Read all reviews
