In which the Mister and the Monsters join me in reviewing ENOLA HOLMES (2020), a new release currently streaming on Netflix. Based on the young adult series by Nancy Springer (and directed by Harry Bradbeer), the film tells the story of the youngest Holmes sibling, Enola, a precocious young girl who on the morning of her sixteen birthday finds her mother is missing. Her two older brothers, Mycroft and Sherlock (yes that Sherlock) come home to try and sort out the mess left behind with both brothers at odd at how just to care after Enola. Clues to a puzzle propel Enola onto a journey and adventure in which she goes toe to toe with her genius detective brother and has her solving the case of a missing marquess. Millie Bobby Brown is the titular Enola and she knocks it out of the park. The film also stars Helena Bonham Carter, Henry Cavill and Sam Claflin as the other members of the Holmes family. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
