1. I really enjoyed it. n/t

2. It was fun but it had some really good memes for young women

particularly as we celebrate women's right to vote. The best part was how it ended - won't spoil it for others.

Here's a nice review
https://scotscoop.com/enola-holmes-breaks-gender-stereotypes-one-mystery-at-a-time/

“Enola Holmes,” released in September 2020, broadcasts the importance of independence and skill as much as caring for another. Holmes breaks gender stereotypes of the late 19th century by going against the social norms of being a woman, from the need to always wear hats and gloves to being raised to marry and please a man.

The movie does a great job of focusing on female independence and the firm willpower of a daughter in search of her mother. This is because, as much of a struggle Holmes had facing the world to find her mother, she kept going and used her mother’s skills. She fights against a paid assassin trying to kill her, saves the mysterious boy that she met on the train, and outsmarts both of her brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes.
