Despite following the same formula as its predecessor, Enola Holmes 2 keeps up the charm and humour with a crafty mystery filled with entertaining twists and turns.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 12, 2023

These Enola Holmes films are just great, striking an excellent balance of action, witty humor and a dark edge.

| Nov 29, 2022

Even though it’s a sequel, set in a familiar world with characters who have appeared on screen in countless iterations, Enola Holmes 2 still manages to feel fresh.

| Original Score: B+ | Nov 24, 2022

While not quite rising to the heights of its 2020 predecessor, this gonzo sequel still manages to effortlessly entertain.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 14, 2022

While much of writer Jack Thorne’s screenplay copies tropes from the previous film, the additional Sherlock Holmes lore that is expanded in this film, and the return of the characters we love, make this adventure well worth taking.

| Nov 11, 2022

Shove over Sherlock – Enola Holmes is back in business in this droll and entertaining sleuthing adventure.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 11, 2022

It may be popcorn – fluffy and insubstantial – but damn if it isn’t enjoyable in the moment. More of that buttery goodness, yes please.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 10, 2022

A satisfyingly intricate, peppy addition to a year of whodunits.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 9, 2022

For all its narrative ornamentation and socially conscious grace notes, Enola Holmes 2 is still basically a kids’ movie about a smart and plucky girl who solves crimes. And what kind of fussbudget could have a problem with that?

| Nov 4, 2022

The pairing of actor and role here is just about perfect, and as much a star-making turn for Brown as her breakout performance in “Stranger Things.”

| Nov 4, 2022

Glossy visuals and Brown's smart, spunky performance never slow down, and never let it down. Bring on Chapter 3.

| Original Score: B | Nov 3, 2022

The feminist undercurrent of the first film is still there and this is a franchise with plenty of zing left in it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 3, 2022

The game is afoot (again) in Enola Holmes 2, a wonderful showcase for Millie Bobby Brown that this time manages to work the character’s famous brother, Sherlock, more organically into the mix.

| Nov 3, 2022

Enola doesn’t just break the fourth wall. She tickles it, winks at it, and tugs at its sleeve. With another actress, this would be annoying. With Brown, it’s charming.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 3, 2022

Has the silty pall of content: scenes often look dreary and move more drearily still; you’d swear in the fight scenes the actors are just taking it in turns to be hit.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2022

A cheeky, breezy sequel that's better than the original.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 3, 2022

One can’t help but cheer on this Y.A. feminist tale as a welcome addition to the Sherlock Holmes universe.

| Nov 2, 2022

Not anything classic, but a pleasing pop hybrid while it lasts — featuring a young lady who knows how to charm, with or without blood on her hands.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 1, 2022

It’s a romp geared especially towards tweens, but one that certainly holds enough depth to delight their parents as well.

| Original Score: B | Nov 1, 2022

The story in Enola Holmes 2 is secondary to the jokes — a large percentage of which are Brown adorably mugging to the camera — and general vibe, but it isn't without a message.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Oct 28, 2022
