\n

The \u201cEnola Holmes\u201d movies have done nothing so much as chart Millie Bobby Brown\u2019s evolution from child actor to movie star. She was 16 when the first \u201cEnola Holmes\u201d debuted in 2020. As \u201cEnola Holmes 3\u201d arrives on Netflix, she\u2019s 22.<\/p>\n

And all three movies have been driven by Brown\u2019s natural charisma. The first two were directed by Harry Bradbeer, a veteran of \u201cFleabag,\u201d and they delighted in her breaks of the fourth wall. \u201cEnola Holmes\u201d runs on her asides, glances and eyebrow raises.<\/p>\n

Everything else in these tales of Sherlock Holmes\u2019 younger sister can be a bit over-amped and over-stylized. But \u201cEnola Holmes 3,\u201d like the two previous chapters, is spirited and fleet of foot, and, crucially, doesn\u2019t take itself too seriously. When Enola\u2019s mother, Eudoria (a scene-stealing Helena Bonham Carter) turns up and pronounces, \u201cThis is all a ridiculous merry mess,\u201d she pretty well nails it.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

If the first two \u201cEnola Holmes\u201d films leaned more Y.A., with a light feminist bent, the third film is a touch more grown up, leading Brown\u2019s character closer to rom-com territory. In the movie\u2019s opening scene, she hesitates about her imminent marriage to Lord Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge) before rushing by carriage to the wedding.<\/p>\n

Her hesitation isn\u2019t about her affection for Tewkesbury but out of fear of losing her identity. She\u2019s worked hard to live up to the Holmes name, creating her own detective agency in London. Becoming \u201ca lady\u201d doesn\u2019t sound so good.<\/p>\n

Everyone \u2014 well, mostly Tewkesburys since the Holmes are a more mysterious bunch \u2014 have gathered for a glamorous destination wedding in Malta. But Enola\u2019s wedding drama is put on hold when her brother (Henry Cavill) is kidnapped.<\/p>\n

As a case to center the movie around, it\u2019s not the most compelling. If ever there was someone who needs no saving, it\u2019s Sherlock. Screenwriter Jack Thorne, working from the character created by author Nancy Springer, throws all manner of secrets, sunken treasure and a British colonialism subplot into a convoluted mix. Anyone who thinks most modern day takes on Arthur Conan Doyle try to paper over their lack of narrative cunning with blander action-movie theatrics won\u2019t be dissuaded by \u201cEnola Holmes 3.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet director Philip Barantini, while unable to gamely juggle the disparate plot elements, keeps things amiably brisk. The Malta setting and the movie\u2019s \u201cmerry mess\u201d make for a fine backdrop for Brown\u2019s continuing evolution as a charming big, or small, screen presence.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnola Holmes 3,\u201d a Netflix release now streaming, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association for some violence. Running time: 105 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.<\/p>\n
