Unsure as to the reasons for such critical reviews of a film, which has been adapted from a book, that had been written for juveniles. A fanciful addition to the Sherlock Holmes narrative but from the perspective of his Sister, Enola. This is not a Sherlock Holmes film, with deductions and logical puzzles being solved, but indeed an entertainingly lighthearted film as Enola sets forth into the world to discover her own path in life after her Mother leaves her all alone. With the lessons that her mother bestowed upon her from a young age, Enola sets out to find her Mother but not before her Brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft, arrive to insist on a different path. Mycroft, as her ward, has different plans to what Elona has for herself, believing that Elona needs to first become a young Lady at a finishing school, Elona then begins her journey to find her mother. Meeting a young prospective Lord on her travels, their two paths inevitably intertwine, causing Elona on her own path which is the setting for the happy ending to the story.
