Enola and Sherlock Holmes are back to solve yet another case. This time, Enola is having more determination and better moves. Despite solving her first case, not many people are approaching her because they think that it's the elder brother who solved that one. Sherlock is in more demand, and she is seen as a mere assistant. One day a young girl Bessie approaches her in search of her elder sister Sarah.
Sarah and hundreds of other girls work in a match factory. Her disappearance led to the unveiling of a saddening secret that the company had been hiding and earning profit with. Enola takes it upon herself to uncover the truth, and she's not alone. Along with her brother, she has the support of her lover Lord Tewkesbury. Apart from the suspense itself, the love between these two is adorable. It was quite predictable that they'll end up forming a pair. Enola is bonding with her brother and remembering the physics lessons that her mom taught her. Boy! Those lessons came in very handy, even in life-threatening situations.
The case Enola is working on is connected to her brother's case, and it's two Holmes working together. What can be better? Her mother is also giving an appearance, and she has a great knowledge of explosives. Enola is seen fighting, getting arrested for being a suspect in a murder, hitting the bad men, and finally serving justice. It's not as if she didn't make mistakes during the case, but what mattered more was how she recognized the patterns. It proved that she was a gifted detective with a bright future.
Millie Bobby Brown is her charming self. It is wonderful to see how she blends herself into various characters. She is an emerging actress, and I'd to see her in more projects. Louise Partridge as Lord Viscount Tewkesbury and Henry Cavill as Sherlock Holmes were also perfect in their roles. The chemistry between Millie Bobby Brown and Louise Partridge was lovely. The supporting cast didn't leave any stone unturned.
The suspense created throughout the movie was worth the watch. The entire cast worked as a team, and nobody was overshadowed because of the main characters. At the end of the movie, the backdrop of the story has been explained, which was based on a real incident. Watching how Enola has set her reputation in the detective world, it would be interesting to watch how she changes the world and empowers women at the same time. Nancy Springer has so far written six books based on Enola's character, and the audience will be waiting to watch her upcoming endeavors.
Final Score – [7.5/10]
