Enola Holmes

Enola Holmes (2020) is a detective adventure you can watch online on iFILM. On the morning of her sixteenth birthday, the youngest Holmes sibling wakes up to find her mother gone without a word.

Millie Bobby Brown plays Enola and runs the whole investigation herself. Her mother (Helena Bonham Carter) left behind ciphers instead of a goodbye note. The older brothers — stiff Mycroft and Sherlock himself, played by Henry Cavill — would rather pack her off to a finishing school for proper young ladies. So Enola bolts for London, tangles with a runaway young lord (Louis Partridge) along the way, and pulls apart a plot far more dangerous than one missing relative.

Director Harry Bradbeer adapted the film from Nancy Springer's book series, and the heroine keeps breaking the fourth wall to talk straight to you. The result is a brisk Victorian mystery where wit beats deduction by cufflink. Stream Enola Holmes (2020) online on iFILM.
