Enola Holmes 2
Stream
Enola takes on her first official case as a detective, but to solve the mystery of a missing girl, she'll need help from friends — and brother Sherlock.
What critics thought
Critics were broadly positive about Enola Holmes 2 as a breezy, fan-friendly sequel, but a notable gap opened between the enthusiastic majority and a skeptical minority who found it cheaper-looking and less charming than the original. The film's use of the 1888 match girl strike as a historical backdrop drew specific criticism for reducing a collective labor struggle to a single-hero narrative, while even sympathetic reviewers admitted it leaves little impression once the credits roll.
“One can't help but cheer on this Y.A. feminist tale as a welcome addition to the Sherlock Holmes universe.”
Beandrea July·The New York Times
“The 1888 match girl strike, which was a process of community building, a focused effort on we, gets repackaged as a lesson in one voice leading the masses.”
Lovia Gyarkye·The Hollywood Reporter
“An equally boisterous romp that's equally as hard to remember once it's over but one that should keep its many fans engaged enough to warrant further sequels.”
Benjamin Lee·The Guardian
