Review Enola Holmes
Review Enola Holmes
Returning to the family home is Sherlock (a sleepwalking Henry Cavill) and Mycroft (a hammy Sam Claflin), trying to assess the situation, realizing how out of touch they’ve been with their mother. As her legal guardian, Mycroft wants to put Enola into a finishing school run by Ms. Harrison (Fiona Shaw), trying to make a proper woman out of her. However, Enola has a better plan, escaping to London to hunt for Eudoria, following the clues she left behind. Distracting her is Lord Tewksbury (Louis Partridge), another young man on the run with family issues, giving Enola someone to protect.
There’s a choice make by the production to have Enola break the fourth wall repeatedly throughout “Enola Holmes.” She’s not always sharing plot information, almost treating the viewer like a trusted confidant, keeping us close as she experiences a highly active and unusual 16th year of life.
It’s a little bit “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and something like a Netflix interactive special (don’t worry, she makes the decisions), with Thorne trying to hammer home a level of playfulness to the effort, which keeps the teenager front and center for most of the movie. Enola is depicted as a jumpy personality, but one nurtured by Eudoria, who’s watched her two sons go out into a world created for them, ready to give her only daughter the skills and awareness to get beyond cultural and intellectual restrictions set for women, hoping that a feminist education might supply her with a life she can do something with.
It’s not a subtle message (Mycroft openly scoffs at the notion of his sister’s individuality), but an effective one for the target audience, with Enola exposed to self-defense, science, and gamesmanship, especially the playing of letter tiles.
