Enola Holmes 2 takes viewers back to the universe that young adult novelist Nancy Springer initially imagined, where the renowned investigator Sherlock Holmes has a younger sister who also happens to be a detective. Two years have passed since Netflix aired the first Enola Holmes movie. A feisty and sincere young woman determined to carve out her own path in the world, the titular Enola Holmes was first introduced to viewers in the 2020 film Enola Holmes. In the follow-up, the character is back for a more tightly organised tale that incorporates a lot more of the Sherlock Holmes legend. With lovely performances from Millie bobby Brown and Henry Cavill, Enola Holmes 2 carries on the cosy mystery tradition from its predecessor.

Following the events of the previous film, Enola Holmes (Brown) establishes her own detective business, but she has trouble attracting clients because most people prefer her elder brother Sherlock (Cavill) to handle their cases. That is, until a young girl requests for assistance in locating her older sister Sarah Chapman, who has vanished (Hannah Dodd). Enola devotes all of her energy to finding Sarah, but she quickly learns that her search intersects with her older brother's efforts to recover some stolen government funds. Despite their differences, the Holmes siblings must work together when the investigation takes a tragic turn.

Enola will need to learn to seek for support from all of her allies, including the Viscount Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge) and her still-disobedient mother Eudoria, in addition to working with Sherlock (Helena Bonham Carter). In the meantime, Sherlock will need Edith, a friend of Eudoria, to help (Susan Wokoma). Enola and Sherlock can only solve both of their cases jointly and with assistance.

Whereas Jack Thorne's script for Enola Holmes 2 is far more beautiful in how it binds all the elements of the picture together, the first Enola Holmes movie was a little too scattershot, with too many separate story strands to feel like a unified story. Enola Holmes' endearing tone and propensity for breaking the fourth wall are all retained by Thorne, who also wrote the script for the first film, while also managing to weave a more tightly constructed mystery. The Sarah Chapman case is equally as intricate as a viewer might anticipate after seeing the first movie, and it is broad enough for Sherlock to have his own stake in it. Thorne even incorporates historical facts, roughly modelling Sarah's persona on the Sarah who participated in the matchgirls' strike of 1888.

Enola Holmes 2's inability to balance its low-stakes narrative with its attempt to be a high-stakes mystery action thriller may be one of its only flaws. A story about a missing girl and stolen government funds is transformed into a movie that has a prison break and numerous explosions thanks to Thorne's script and Harry Bradbeer's director, who also made a return appearance from the first movie. Enola Holmes 2 occasionally goes a little too far with the action, but there is a certain level of action inherent to a plot where a young woman who knows jujitsu is crucial to her character.

Enola Holmes 2 offers a satisfying conclusion for fans of the original movie while also providing a simple entry point for others who might not have seen Netflix's 2020 film. Although this is still Brown's franchise, those who liked Cavill's portrayal of Sherlock in Enola Holmes will be especially thrilled to see him more involved in the tale of the sequel.
