Enola Holmes 2 Review

THE GOOD

Once again, Millie Bobby Brown is the ideal option to play Sherlock's rebellious sister who forges her own way due to her amazing comedic timing and frantic Fleabag spirit. Brown's passion and brilliance never wanes as we see Enola eagerly pitch being flatmates to a deadpan Sherlock, complain about unfairness while munching on cake as her crush comes by, or defy social convention by speaking to a young man without a chaperone. Don't touch the ginger cake, it plays hopscotch with your bowels!, only Brown could rush out of a bathroom with such comedic elegance. She even pulls off the "I guess you're wondering how I ended up here" introduction from the movie.

In the follow-up, Henry Cavill's Sherlock has a more major and entertaining role, spending a lot of time inside the fabled walls of 221B Baker Street and solving his most recent case. When he's not arguing with his equally obstinate sibling or giving unwanted life advice, Cavill gets to embrace his inner Sherlock by thinking about his own yarn wall and putting together puzzle pieces. With the help of Thorne and Bradbeer, the sequel seeks (very lightly) to rough up Sherlock's poised image, in contrast to his fairly limited part in the first movie, which featured a very serious, haughty Sherlock far far from the wild creation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

THE BAD

Once again, Susan Wokoma's portrayal of Edith, Enola's old combat instructor, receives just one significant action scene. Adeel Akhtar attempts to maintain the law in his job as Lestrade, while Sharon Duncan-Brewster discreetly asserts herself as the underrated Mira Troy.

POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER SEQUEL

The mid-credits scene from Enola Holmes 2 sets the stage for a further movie. I'm not saying anything!) We're sure to see more cases arrive at Enola and Sherlock's respective detective organizations, as there is a ton of source material in Springer's series. The foundations laid by the first film enable Enola to soar through this playful, albeit frequently dark and moving, follow-up, which shows our detective siblings wonderfully collaborating while Sherlock tries to stay out of the way of his talented sister.
