www.columbusmessenger.com October 4, 2020 - MESSENGER - PAGE 9 “Enola Holmes” is entertaining for all ages While preparing to watch and review a new movie or television show in which I have aged, allegedly, past its target demographic, I often try to experience it through the lens of a younger version of myself. And in order to tap into the mindset of that bygone era, I ask a series of questions during and after the viewing. They include whether my younger self would have liked the characters or have been annoyed by them; whether my younger self would have found more enjoyment in the story being told or by crafting a different version in real-time; or whether my younger self would be embarrassed if the older version publicly stated that she liked it. For the most part, the younger version and the current form can find common ground through similar but evolved interests and that certainly applies in the case of “Enola Holmes,” a new film streaming on Netflix that is geared toward young adults but can be enjoyed by all age demographics. There is plenty here in the form of entertainment to go around, which is actually surprising because my adult self thought the opposite based on its trailer. In this charming film, Millie Bobby Brown plays the titular character who is the youngest of the famed Holmes children — brother Sherlock (played by Henry The Reel Deal Dedra Cordle Cavill) is making a name for himself in the world of criminology and the elder Mycroft (played by Sam Claflin) is known throughout polite society as a man of impeccable character and good standing. While much is known about the dashing and intelligent brothers, little is known about their sister, and that is just the way their mother wants it to be. After the death of her husband and following the relocation of her sons to the city, Eudoria Holmes (Helena Bonham Carter) decided that she did not want to raise her daughter in the traditional sense. Gone were the finishing schools with their rules and deference to a man’s opinion and in its place were studies on the sciences, martial arts and the importance of speaking one’s mind. Through this unorthodox education, especially in Victorian times, Enola flourished but formed a deep attached to her mother in lieu of friendships with children her age. Knowing that her child had to be more independent, Eudoria did the only thing she could think of: cut the strings to make it happen. On the morning of her 16th birthday, Enola wakes to find her mother has disappeared. Believing that her brother Sherlock could solve this mystery in two seconds flat, she requests that he and Mycroft return home. When they arrive, Enola discovers that the only thing they want to do is fix her. “She is such a mess,” declares Mycroft as he hires a reputable governess to drag her off to a finishing school. Before such a travesty can occur, Enola puts her own sleuthing skills to work and uncovers some clues as to her mother’s potential whereabouts. Wanting to know why she left (and not wanting to go to boarding school and learn how to “embroider and hem handkerchiefs”), she runs away to London to solve this mystery. But like all good mysteries, there is a secondary mystery afoot that involves a missing young Lord (Louis Partridge), a reform bill and an underground movement set to shake up society. With her brothers on her heels, along with an apparent assassin, Enola has to make sense of all of these semi-related threads while finding her footing in a new world that is openly hostile to spirited young women like herself. Though its plot is a little clunky and darker plot threads are dropped in favor of simplicity, the charm of its lead character and the chemistry between the cast members are good enough to propel it past any bumps that occur in this origin story. Based on a series of novels by Nancy Springer (though primarily adapted from “The Case of the Missing Marquess”), “Enola Holmes” is a great starting point for a planned movie franchise. Though its plot is a little clunky and darker plot threads are dropped in favor of simplicity, the charm of its lead character and the chemistry between the cast members are good enough to propel it past any bumps that occur in this origin story. With wit and an overarching sense of sweetness, “Enola Holmes” is a fun movie to watch, though it is about 25 minutes too long. But despite a few pacing and dropped thread gripes, it is an entertaining film that almost all age groups should be able to enjoy.
