If it gets you or any other family members in the mood for a Baker Street-themed marathon, meanwhile, the streaming world has you covered. Henry Cavill makes a near-unprecedentedly suave Sherlock, but he’s a background figure by design: Enola does all the investigative legwork here, and very engagingly at that. If ubiquitous screenwriter du jour Jack Thorne fills in the feminist messaging with Sharpie-thick nuance – perhaps, of all projects, a woman’s pen was called for here – he’s constructed a pleasingly knotty old-school mystery around the disappearance of Enola’s mother (a reliably dotty Helena Bonham Carter), which casts her into the care of her estranged older brothers. Yet thanks to Fleabag director Harry Bradbeer’s zippy steering and the smart but not overly cute presence of Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown in the lead, it’s brisk, bright family viewing that parents and kids can watch equally happily.
On paper, Netflix’s new film Enola Holmes sounds like it could go wrong in several directions as an adaption of Nancy Springer’s YA literary franchise centred on the detective’s sparky kid sister, the risk of naff, condescending girl-power-by-numbers is high.
That’s just as well, since its latest iteration is considerably more fun. If Will Ferrell and John C Reilly’s clomping, witless, financially disastrous parody Holmes & Watson (it’s on Now TV, but why do that to yourself) couldn’t kill the mythos two years ago, it’s safe to say it’s going nowhere. Yet the updates, sendups and spinoffs of Arthur Conan Doyle’s immortal character keep coming – some delightful, some dire, but never enough to deter the next one. Knowing how this pair works, it will certainly have an impact on how the story unfolds.W hat is it about Sherlock Holmes that holds such enduring fascination for people? After nearly 140 years, you might think a tweedily eccentric, pipe-smoking Victorian detective might have worn out his pop-culture welcome. What happened between the events of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and the third movie in the franchise will surely be told at some point in the upcoming sequel. We're going to examine - since it's been several years since we've seen them - we're going to play up the fact that they haven't seen each other for a long time either. As always, the essence of the story is their codependency. And if a 2018 EW interview with Jude Law is to be believed, it sounds like the nature of the companionship of the famous team of detectives will be a major part of Sherlock Holmes 3, especially when he said this:
John Watson has been the pair's relationship and how its current state has an impact on the mystery they are trying to solve. The Story Will Center Around The Partnership Of Holmes And WatsonĪt the very center of every incarnation of the story of Sherlock Holmes and Dr.
