The number of things Sherlock Holmes hasfailedto deduce about the world could fill a book.
(Thatd be six.)
Beyond that, however, is a richly specific tale involving missing mothers, ciphers, and anti-corset diatribes.
Still asking yourself, How did I not know Sherlock had a sister?
As the Baker Street resident himself says, I cannot make bricks without clay!
Enola is not a character in Sir Arthur Conan Doyles canon.
The possibility of a secret, third Holmes sibling is the stuff of very old fanfiction.
Millie Bobby Browns Enola is pretty faithful to the Enola of Springers books with two big changes.
Meanwhile, Movie Enola says, I was taught to watch and listen.
I was taught to fight.
This is what my mother made me for.
Overemphasizing Holmesian characters fighting skills is nothing new for film adaptations set in this beloved Victorian universe.
And yet in the 2009 movieSherlock Holmes, thats exactly what Robert Downey Jr.s Sherlock seems to do.
Enolas relationship with Sherlock is much cozier than it is in Springers books.
But Henry Cavills Sherlock inEnola Holmesisnothinglike this.
In Springers novels, Dr. Watson is very much around.
InThe Case of the Bizarre Bouquets,Enola even gives Watson an assist.
And it works, sure.
InEnola Holmes, the Netflix movie, hes mostly just a woke, Victorian Superman.
Which, in a film that isnt about Sherlock anyway, is probably fine.
