The Enola Holmes franchise on Netflix has had two really solid, enjoyable movies and now Enola Holmes 3 joined the trilogy in a very effective way.

I hadn’t heard about Enola Holmes 3 coming until some time in mid-June of this year. I had no idea they were doing another one, but I think they presented another winner. Millie Bobby Brown has grown into this role, and she does an admirable job in the role. Her breaking of the fourth wall moments, as she acted as a narrator, worked very well. I realized in the middle of the movie that I had not thought of her as Eleven (from Stranger Things) once. That shows how effective Millie Bobby Brown has been as Sherlock Holmes’ sister.

Sherlock Holmes is kidnapped, disrupting the wedding of Enola Holmes and Lord Tewkesbury. Enola is on the case, investigating the mystery.

Several returning actors reclaimed their roles from previous films of the franchise including Henry Cavill as Sherlock, Helena Bonham Carter as Eudoria Holmes, Louis Partridge as Tewkesbury, Himesh Patel as Dr. Watson, and Susan Wokoma as Edith.

This movie succeeds on the back of Millie Bobby Brown and her relationship with the characters around her. She is very charming as Enola and she and Partridge have great chemistry.

I was not as impressed with the mystery with previous Enola films. I can’t speak about the plot without spoiling so I won’t go into it further.

I found this to be an entertaining addition to the franchise and I thought it was an easy watch. This is a great Netflix film that is worth the time.
