What You Need To Know:

In the third installment of Netflix’s popular ENOLA HOLMES series, Enola’s wedding to Lord Tewkesbury interrupts the kidnapping of her brother, the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. Enola, Tewkesbury, and their friends band together to find Sherlock and solve a mystery involving a military cover-up, an old enemy, and lost treasure. ENOLA HOLMES 3 entertains, but it lacks the intrigue of its predecessors. Star Millie Bobby Brown delivers a charming performance, but the plot offers little action, leading to a repetitive feel.

The movie’s plot lacks construction, leaving the villain’s motivation unclear beyond a desire to create chaos. Fans of earlier movies might find this installment dull in comparison. ENOLA HOLMES 3 carries a moral worldview, with Enola and her friends striving to bring a criminal to justice. They focus on uncovering the truth of a military cover-up and returning stolen treasure. A scene promotes showing mercy, even to those who have done wrong. The film features light violence and suspense, some light alcohol use, and one obscenity. MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for older children.

More Detail:

In ENOLA HOLMES 3, Enola prepares for her wedding to her longtime companion, Lord Tewkesbury, but she feels apprehensive about becoming a Lady and worries about her detective work. When kidnappers take her brother, Sherlock, Enola postpones the wedding and embarks on the hunt for her brother.

While Enola tracks mysterious figures linked to her brother’s disappearance, her leads end in death. Complications arise when a hotel fire reveals that Lady Tewkesbury, her future mother-in-law, also disappears.

Accompanied by Tewkesbury, Dr. Watson, and a group of friends, old and new, Enola’s search for Sherlock uncovers a military cover-up and the return of an old enemy. Years ago, a group of British soldiers killed the village’s civilians to steal their gold. Now, Enola’s enemy hunts for this hidden treasure. Enola must find the missing gold, save her brother, and bring a criminal mastermind to justice.
