Backdrop
What makes this movie Worth Watching
The film draws heavily on the real history of the Matchgirls' Strike of 1888. This adds a layer of social commentary to the narrative, highlighting the harsh working conditions and the fight for worker's rights during that era, aligning Enola's independent spirit with real-world struggles for social justice.
- Millie Bobby Brown's charismatic and energetic performance as Enola continues to be a highlight, bringing charm and wit to the character.
- The film blends mystery and action with a feminist subplot, offering a compelling narrative beyond a simple detective story.
- The dynamic between Enola and Sherlock develops further, showcasing their familial bond and individual growth as detectives.
- The historical setting of Victorian London is vividly recreated, providing a rich and immersive backdrop for the story.
Fun Facts
- The character of William Lyon is based on a real-life figure involved in the Matchgirls' Strike, although the film takes liberties with his portrayal.
- Helena Bonham Carter returns as Eudoria Holmes, Enola's mother, and the film subtly hints at her continued involvement in suffrage activities.
- The film contains visual callbacks to Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, appealing to fans of the original source material. For example, Sherlock is seen experimenting in his lab, a common trait of the character in the books.

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/enola-holmes-2-spoiler-free-review
"Enola Holmes 2 maintains the levels of light, adventurous fun of the original, surpassing it due to a much more cohesive, intriguing central narrative, in addition to overall better pacing. The different storylines mesh together nicely, and Harry Bradbeer's distinctive visual style remains a standout.
Millie Bobby Brown shines as Enola, as does Henry Cavill as Sherlock - the latter even too much, sometimes stealing the spotlight from a female-empowered story partially based on a real event with a significant impact on the evolution of women's rights.
Highly recommend it as a weekend viewing."
Rating: B
I very much enjoyed this movie. They left the Enola Holmes vibe of the first movie somewhat behind. Now we have more Holmes Enola mystery movie.
She's older and out making her own life finding love, finding her brother Sherlock, finding her mom and finding clues to a mystery.
It's worth a watch.
About on par with the original, which I suppose is the minimum you want from a sequel.
I have similar thoughts about 'Enola Holmes 2' as I do for 'Enola Holmes'. Millie Bobby Brown is a strong lead, the support cast are good but the plot still isn't the most entertaining to watch unfold onscreen. I'm not sure it needed to be told over 2hrs, either.
Still, I got the required amount of entertainment from it. I appreciate the message and the story it tells, as well as them (seeming to, to me anyway) toning down the fourth-wall breaking - which is a tad overdone in the 2020 flick.
It seems likely that we'll be getting more of these, which I'm cool with - if the main cast remain, that is.
