Enola Holmes is a 2020 historical detective film directed by Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag) and written by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child). It adapts the children's novels of the same name by Nancy Springer.The film chronicles the adventures of Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown), the younger sister of Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and Mycroft Holmes (Sam Claflin), as she embarks on a quest to find their missing mother Eudoria (Helena Bonham Carter). On the way to London, she becomes entangled with the runaway Viscount Tewksbury (Louis Partridge), a young aristocrat whose disappearance has far-reaching consequences. Enola must now solve multiple mysteries while staying a step ahead of her brothers, especially Mycroft, who would prefer to send her off to a dreaded finishing school.The film was produced by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, with its distribution rights having been acquired by Netflix, which started streaming it on September 23, 2020. A sequel was greenlit almost immediately; Brown, Cavill, Partridge, and Bonham-Carter all reprised their roles, though Claflin was unable to return. The sequel was released on November 4, 2022 under the title Enola Holmes 2.Previews: Trailer.

Artistic License – Martial Arts
 Enola Holmes / int_141f6a73
comment
Artistic License – Martial Arts: Enola's fighting style resembles more our modern Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (which is actually an eclectic, mid-20th century offshoot of Japanese Judo) than the mix of Shinden Fudo-ryu and Fusen-ryu jujutsu Edith should be teaching at the time and place. She even has the Running Gag of trying and failing a particular leglock entry that only became popular in BJJ by influences of Sambo (another eclectic offshoot of judo very posterior to the time the series is set).

Dye or Die: Tewkesbury initially has long hair, and his description is in the paper. Enola guesses that he will need to be disguised, and cuts his hair short with a knife. She herself doesn't need to do this, as she's easily able to disguise herself as a boy by hiding her hair under a hat, and this also gives her the advantage of switching back and forth between women's clothes when she wants.

Practically Different Generations: While their exact ages aren't clear, Sherlock and Mycroft are by now both established career men who would prefer not to have to suddenly deal with a sixteen-year-old sister. The solution (at least for Mycroft, who legally becomes her guardian when their mother seemingly abandons Enola) is to ship her off to boarding school.

Mythology Gag
 Enola Holmes / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The film features some of the famous Sherlock Holmes illustrations by Sidney Paget when Enola introduces her famous older brother, only here his face is replaced by that of Henry Cavill. Enola says at one point, "I don't think, I know." Her elder brother liked to say something similar when making deductions ("I don't know, I observe"). Tewksbury's uncle is a veteran of the Second Afghan War, the same war Dr. Watson served in. When preparing to leap from the train, Enola tells Tewksbury they need to time it right, as they're coming up on a bridge over a river. This is like a scene in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows where Holmes and the Watsons are similarly fleeing assassins, except in that movie, Mrs. Watson lands in the water. In the original stories, Holmes was said to have been related to the (real-life) French painter Vernet. Eudoria's maiden name is Vernet. The first image of what Eudoria taught Enola is beekeeping; Sherlock retired to bee-farming on the Sussex downs in the short stories.

Oblivious to Love

comment
Oblivious to Love: Ms. Harrison is clearly enamored with Mycroft, who seems completely oblivious to this. The fact that she was a schoolmate of Mycroft's mother (and thus probably at least twenty years older than him) might have something to do with it. When Tewksbury is in Enola's room it is obvious that he has a serious crush/admiration for her but Enola thinks he is pitying her and does not take it well.

Tewksbury seems this, at first. Later on though, he shows an in-depth knowledge of local flora which helps him and Enola to eat while they find their way to London. And when Enola investigates his case, she discovers that he deliberately left a false trail for his family to follow so they wouldn't find him. Most notably, he's the only character who immediately sees through Enola's disguise and guesses that she's not a boy.

 Enola Holmes / int_381855db
comment
Five-Second Foreshadowing: When Enola demands to know who Linthorn is working for, he answers "England", indicating that the motive for Tewksbury's murder is not inheritance, but politics. This allows the viewer to piece together that the villain is Tewksbury's grandmother, who spoke to Enola about the importance of keeping England as it is, seconds before the culprit arrives on the scene. The sound of her cane tapping on the floor is heard much earlier, but it's largely unsettling background noise and is completely ignored by the other characters, who are all busy fighting.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Enola has been trained in martial arts since early childhood. She can surprise a trained adult twice her size with an unexpected attack, but that's only enough to briefly hold her own. Even more so since that adult has no compunctions about murder. Even genius older brothers make mistakes. Having not seen Enola since she was a toddler, Mycroft and Sherlock completely fail to recognize her as a teenager when they first meet after so many years.

Would Hurt a Child: Ms. Harrison, the headmistress that Mycroft hopes will groom Enola, slaps her in the face when she protests. The man in the brown bowler hat tries to hold Viscount Tewksbury off a moving train to slam him into a tunnel facing. He later tries to drown Enola and stabs her, but she's saved by her whale-bone corset. And during the film's climax shoots at both Tewksbury and Enola and tries to garrote Tewksbury. The Dowager ordered the hit on Tewksbury to keep him from casting the decisive vote in Parliament for extending the vote, and later shoots him herself - though she at least looks apologetic.

Significant Anagram: Enola points out that her name is "Alone" spelled backwards and says her mother named her that on purpose. However, she later observes that neither Tforcym (Mycroft) nor Kcolrehs (Sherlock) means anything so perhaps it's best not to read too much into the name. Later, Enola realizes that three phrases she overheard at one of her mother's meetings were anagrams of locations in London, where they could potentially conduct revolutionary activities.

 Enola Holmes / int_55d33017
comment
Sheltered Aristocrat: Enola, to a certain extent. She has great natural intelligence and deductive reasoning instincts near or on par with Sherlock and Eudoria saw to it that she's extremely well-read, as well as being able to defend herself. However, she's lived virtually her entire life in isolation, and has almost no experience of the outside world. Tewksbury seems this, at first. Later on though, he shows an in-depth knowledge of local flora which helps him and Enola to eat while they find their way to London. And when Enola investigates his case, she discovers that he deliberately left a false trail for his family to follow so they wouldn't find him. Most notably, he's the only character who immediately sees through Enola's disguise and guesses that she's not a boy.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
 Enola Holmes / int_5663a595
comment
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: With Dr. Watson Adapted Out, Sherlock's fame as a detective is paradoxical because it came from the publication of Watson's stories. Before A Study in Scarlet, Sherlock was only known among a select circle with the police largely taking the credit. Watson was the biographer who brought Sherlock Holmes into the public eye. The original book even has Enola reference Watson's accounts for information on her brother. While it's mentioned that there are numerous newspaper articles about him, one has to wonder just how a detective became so famous, especially since Lestrade mentions that he's "been trying to avoid the press."

Jerkass Has a Point
 Enola Holmes / int_6b05b601
comment
Jerkass Has a Point: For all his abrasiveness and misogyny, Mycroft's disdain and anger towards Eudoria is partially justified. He financially supported her based on the letters she wrote about needing to maintain the estate, pay staff and give Enola a 'proper' education. And then he discovers their estate unkempt, almost no servants, Eudoria gone and his younger sister without a formal education (a point which even Sherlock is aghast at). It's also heavily implied that the money he was sending Eudoria was used to fund her revolutionary activities, which could cause serious trouble for him, a government employee, if that was ever found out. In his eyes, he was swindled and then left with the responsibility of raising Enola after their mother seemingly abandoned her. Mycroft considers Eudoria dangerous, among other things. When Enola discovers that Eudoria is prepared to use terroristic methods in order to change the world, she admits out loud that Mycroft was right about that one. Several of the characters, among them the less sympathetic ones like Miss Harrison and Mycroft, point out that if Eudoria cared so much about Enola, then why leave her (under Mycroft's care and on her birthday, no less)? While Eudoria says that she left in order to forge a better world for Enola to live in, she nonetheless apologizes for leaving her like that. When Sherlock notes that it was Mycroft's choice to accept Eudoria's requests' for money, Mycroft accuses him of judging him for the way he takes care of their family when Sherlock himself has taken no part in it. Sherlock is clearly bothered by the accusation, and several other characters also call him out of how little his family seems to interest him.

Casting Gag: Fiona Shaw previously appeared in the Sherlock Holmes TV series starring Jeremy Brett, as Miss Morrison in the episode "The Crooked Man". The same Fiona Shaw as an unremarkable adult woman who has to "educate" (and belittles) a young teen who doesn't fit in the mold and is destined to become remarkable? One can make a case about Petunia Dursley here. In Three Men and a Baby Fiona Shaw plays Miss Elspeth Lomax, the headmistress of a girl's academy.

Everyone Has Standards: Enola is initially wary of Tewksbury, and wants nothing to do with him, but she is horrified to see Linthorn dangling him out of the train. Before that, when the young marquess thinks that he has escaped his family, she gives him a heads up by telling him that they got someone (Linthorn) on the train looking for him (At this point, she had no reason to help him. The only thing she knew before meeting him is that a marquess is on the train, and his family wants him to come back.)

While Enola says that corsets are a way of women being oppressed and is shown screaming in pain from being tight-laced while at the boarding school, they aren't shown to hinder her in any way when walking through London or fighting against an assassin. This is Truth in Television as the tightlacing movement was considered to be highly harmful to the body (especially as regards childbearing abilities), and most corsets, either custom-made by highly trained specialists or — for the working class — bought off-the-rack from industrial makers, were in fact sensible undergarments made to support the body without restricting movement overmuch (there were even sports versions, only lightly boned to promote freedom of movement).

Interrogated for Nothing: By the time Linthorn catches up with Enola and questions her on Tewksbury's whereabouts, she hasn't seen Tewksbury in a day or two and so genuinely has no idea where he is. He does eventually seem to believe her protests that she doesn't know, but that doesn't improve her situation any as Linthorn points out she's seen his face.

Irony

comment
Irony: Despite rebelling against Mycroft since the beginning, Enola actually comes close to fulfilling one of his wishes for her: finding a suitable husband. While Enola and Tewksbury became close friends in their adventures together, they seem to have a budding romance going on and on paper, marriage between a lord and a woman from a family of landed gentry would be not at all objectionable in Victorian times.

Bulletproof Vest: Tewksbury wears one in the final scene. In the best traditions of this trope, he gets Blown Across the Room and thought dead for a minute. A variant is when it turns out Enola's whalebone corset is able to turn a knife.

Decided by One Vote: The stakes surrounding the Case of the Missing Marquess are considerably heightened by the deadlocked debate of the Reform Bill of 1884 in the House of Lords. Tewksbury, being liberal in his views, does indeed break the tie in the end and allow the passage of the bill.

What the Hell, Hero?: Mrs. Lane the housekeeper is angry when Sherlock is briefly amused by Enola's escape, saying she is in real danger due to never seeing the world, and also telling him not to abandon her again. Sherlock also gets another one from Edith Bryston, who berates him for both his neutrality in the face of a changing world and for not being there for his sister.

Contrived Coincidence: Enola, who is running away from home via a train station she doesn't normally use, meets Tewkesbury (who is also running away) when he cuts himself out of a bag on the same train. Enola deduces that her mother may be planning something on Limehouse Lane, and goes there to investigate. Tewksbury had planted a false trail at home before running away, which also wound up at Limehouse Lane. Linthorn ambushes Enola there, thinking she is working with Tewksbury and knows where he is.

Ship Tease: Between Enola and Tewksbury, two similarly-aged plucky teens who become close on their mutual runaway journeys and save each other's lives. Both are aware of it, but never do more than hold hands and hug. Even Sherlock notices and points it out to Mycroft, who snarks that maybe they'll get married and be each other's problem (which wouldn't have been out of the ordinary for two people their ages back then).

Artistic License
 Enola Holmes / int_dd6ce5db
comment
Artistic License: With his father deceased, Tewkesbury is now the Marquess of Basilweather and should be addressed as such by himself and by everyone else, yet the film flip-flops on it. The newspapers and Mycroft do so, and Tewkesbury himself does introduce himself secondarily as such to Enola, yet he and everyone keep calling him by his subsidiary Viscount title thereafter. Whilst it is understandable that Tewkesbury is likely grieving his father, the previous marquess, and is more used to the title that was once his by courtesy, there is no etiquette in the British peerage that allows for someone to continue to use their lower titles in this manner. Victorian society was especially rigid and Tewkesbury would have almost immediately been called Basilweather, or more properly Lord Basilweather by all but his closest friends, the moment his father passed on.

Darkest Hour: Briefly happens more than halfway through the film. Enola sacrifices her freedom to keep Tewksbury safe, and is taken to Miss Harrison's Finishing School by Mycroft to begin her reeducation to become a 'proper lady.' When she rebels, she's punished by being locked in what amounts to solitary confinement. On top of that, her feelings of being abandoned by her mother are compounded cruelly by Miss Harrison herself. Sherlock's unexpected visit strengthens her resolve until Tewksbury comes to rescue her.

Running Gag: Enola attempting a "corkscrew" jiu-jitsu maneuver (a leglock entry from the bottom). Due to her small frame and height, she consistently fails to execute the move several times before managing it. Enola offering someone five pounds to sell her their clothes (she never has any problem with this, because five pounds is more than most of the people she makes the offer to would earn in a month).
