Movie Critique
Enola, spelled backward is alone, yet this movie
showed us that, women are never alone fighting for our
rights. She is also entitled to a name "finder of the lost
souls". The protagonist remarkably played the role as
the smart young female detective wannabe, known as
Enola Holmes, the sister of the famous Sherlock
Holmes and Mycroft Holmes that was portrayed by the
young rising actress, Millie Bobby Brown. Enola
Holmes has immensely bought the exuberant spirit of
women to become women of the century.
'Enola', a significant name given by her mother, is an
extremely magnificent clue that leads to a fantastic
mystery of finding her mother, and in that search; a
runaway lord, Tewksbury, played by Louis Partridge
added more fun through the adventure. Her free-
spirited confidence, intelligence and strong-will
incorporated a perfect angle of influence by her mother
by which she could discover manipulative powers over
her fellow performers in the play. And of course, this
time audience could taste a different curiosity for a
cryptic twist in the story, because of a prominent
detective; Sherlock Holmes has been outsmarted by his
sister, which is an amazing riddle that have driven
thrills in the movie! Within a small period of
interaction with her brothers, which has displayed her
quick-wit, tricks and remarkable expressions of
mischievousness, revealed her sharp mind the ability to
become a clever detective, an insightful thinker of
limitless time in future. Where do it end and how, it was
moreover predictable; cause it is an accomplishable
task although there has been showing a lot of mystery
yet on emotional basis of the search. There goes a
sudden launching of a teen boy; half the way from the
story, Enola was helping a boy, Tewksbury, who was a
runaway viscount.
a runaway viscount.
I wish it could last for some more scenes. It was
rather unexpected, that Henry Cavill could perform so
well as a detective, but he did it! The screenplay was
good according to the performance along with the
cinematography which was inevitably stunning due the
amazing landscapes from England. Enola was liable to
all of the solved cases; mysteries and that was all
because of her mother! It has showed Enola's mother;
Eudoria as a strong and bold matriarch of Holmes
family who encouraged her daughter to become an
independent woman like her. Eudoria, an eccentric yet
a feminist role played by Helena Bonham Carter, she
had skillful aptitude of a dignified woman and her
contribution towards her daughter happened to be
immensely large and also which was as coolly
manifested in her role for a secret society consisting of
a radical group of suffragettes where she raised voice
to redefine woman society in England. She taught her
daughter everything, jujitsu; a martial art which helped
her during the chase of the viscount, chess, paintings,
encouraged her to read every book in Ferndell Hall, in
their home, and was a big fan of word games, and all
that she could teach.
In the last scene, a beautiful message was
advised by her, I could catch that, "You have to make
some noise if you want to be heard”. The story of a
brave, talented, clever, free-spirited strong girl in order
to become a woman is just wonderfully shown in Enola
Holmes. Netflix users should watch this awesome
movie even if you could not find any romance "Baker
Street of London", is refreshed as it welcomes a new
member in Holmes Family.
