Enola is cute, but Mycroft and Sherlock are too poorly portrayed, and the story of finding a mother and the Marquis doesn't fit together well enough.

I think the relationship between Meinola and the two older brothers and the difference in the way they treat the world can be added. It is good to treat the mother as a mentor. It is obviously not interesting enough to make finding the whereabouts of her mother a motivation, because her whereabouts are obvious. If the part of the trick is only to guess the word puzzle, it is better to add more adventure elements, and design the mystery of the disappearance of the Marquis to be a bit more accidental.

Since it is a Sherlock Holmes story, it would be better to tell the story of Mycroft and Sherlock from a different angle than to treat them as mere tool men. The film that shows the story of women in the Victorian era is still doing a good job. The attraction of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes story is that in addition to the character of Sherlock Holmes, there is also the dense fog in London. The stage has been set up. Just look at the charm of Enola Holmes.

Breaking the fourth wall should have been the highlight of the movie, but I don't think it's impressive, and it doesn't affect the look and feel. Strengthen the audience's sense of substitution.

Enola's drag show is very eye-catching, the young marquis is also very handsome, and the whole film is also very comfortable, probably because there are more rural scenes, so the style is smaller and fresher than the Sherlock Holmes story.

  • Mycroft Holmes: I believe I explicitly told you to look for her.

    Lestrade: You explicitly told me to look for a scrappy girl with no poise. This was a woman... with extreme poise.

    Mycroft Holmes: There's a wild thing underneath. That, I assure you.

  • Enola Holmes: You tickle me, Viscount Tewkesbury, you magnificent marquess of blooming Basilwether. You're a cleverer boy than I perhaps gave you credit for.
