Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) wakes up on her 16th birthday to find out that her mother (Helena Bonham Carter) is missing so she goes on an adventure to find her mother but it leads her to discover herself more.

First of all, this movie is not for Sherlock Holmes fans AT ALL, this movie is about a 16 years old girl who is trying to discover herself and choose the path that will lead her to live a happy and satisfying life, it's a sweet, funny, quirky movie made for young teen girls and not for those who are looking for a thrilling, solving a mystery case, Sherlock Holmes level movie.

Millie Bobby Brown as Enola Holmes was a perfect choice and she played the role very well exactly how it should be, I mean Millie is an amazing young actress and has a bright future especially after playing Eleven in Stranger Things, Henry Cavill as Sherlock homes was an okay choice but, of course, you can't compare him to Benedict Cumberbatch in the tv series "Sherlock", Benedict is the best actor who played the role of Sherlock Holmes, HANDS DOWN. Sam Claflin as Mycroft Holmes was incredible, he was able to give us the role of that mean / annoying old brother perfectly, the whole cast was not a trouble at all, they were all great in their performances.

The first half of the film was amazing and I really enjoyed it but the second half was the problem, I felt like the second half of the film was chaos and I got lost and also felt like the movie went far away and was not focusing on the main story which is a thing that I was really annoyed about, felt like the movie was trying to be too many things in once, I got really bored in the second half and couldn't wait for the movie to be over.

The set design was so incredible and the movie had some frames that were visually stunning, the camera angles were able to capture the nature around in a perfect way that I really loved, the custom designs were so cool, the different customs of Enola Holmes and suits of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes were all incredible.

Loved how the movie breaks the fourth wall, and how Enola explains some stuff to us in a beautiful way that if you watched the movie you'll get what I mean, that was a great touch in the movie.

Enola Holmes is a movie that is not what you expect just because it has the name "Holmes" in it, It's not about solving a mystery or surprising the audience, it focuses on the message that is for young teen girls and that's to go after what you want, not care about society and choose the path that you want and not others want for you which is a very sweet message for those young teen girls. A fun movie that I recommend watching with your family.

My rating is 4/10
