yeah I know what happened to hopper

Why you should watch Enola Holmes (2020)

- female teenage protagonist (Enola) is 16, played by actual 16yr old Millie Bobby Brown instead of an adult woman

- love interest (Tewkesbury) is played by 17yr old Lewis Partridge and not a man that’s way older than Millie

- Enola is not sexualized once in the entire movie

- Enola is not made to look older than 16

- period movie that isn’t depressing or super dark

- criticisms on society that are very valid today

- Tewkesbury cries on screen (let men show their feelings 2020)

- Enola is not a damsel in distress, in fact she’s the one that goes out of her way to save Tewkesbury

- Enola is 90% of the time wearing an outfit that is comfortable on her and allows her to move freely, the only times she doesn’t are when she’s undercover

- a genuinly fun story that’s easy to follow, appropriate for kids and not boring to adults

- no love at first sight bullshit, it takes Enola ages before she realizes her feelings and love is not her main motivation

- Mycroft is an absolute abysmal human being and the movie never tries to sympathise with him. He’s just straight an asshole and isn’t given a redemption or sympathy

- movie is written and produced by women

My name is Enola, which, backwards, spells “alone.” But I now see that being alone doesn’t mean I have to be lonely. I am a detective, I am a decipherer, and I am a finder of lost souls. My life is my own. And the future is up to us.

Enola Holmes + Lord Tewksbury 

#damn these period movies with these hand moments that keep making me weak in the knees.

Because you have no interest in changing a world that suits you so well.

My name is Enola, which, backwards, spells “alone.” To be a Holmes, you must find your own path. My brothers have, my mother has, and I must, too. But I now see that being alone doesn’t mean I have to be lonely. Mother never wanted that. She wanted me to find my freedom, my future, my purpose. I am a detective, I am decipherer, and I’m a finder of lost souls. My life is my own. And the future is up to us.

I can find them. In the bath.

"I think breaking the fourth wall, it's a very tricky thing to do unless the person who is doing it is very charismatic. Millie is very charismatic. She's extremely good at it and I think everyone [watching the film] is in for a treat." Henry Cavill on Millie Bobby Brown breaking the fourth wall in Enola Holmes (2020)

I don't need friends. I have my own company.

If we do find her again, I’d like her to be my ward. I’ll take care of her. ENOLA HOLMES (2020) dir. Harry Bradbeer

The choice is always yours. Whatever society may claim, it can’t control you. As mother has proven.

( insp. )

My girl Enola DEMOLISHED Tewksbury with “you’re a man when I tell you you’re a man” and he just TOOK IT with that charming little smile of his. This, my friend, is healthy masculinity.
