Enola Holmes (2020)

Enola Holmes carves its own identity by giving us more of what we already like about the Holmes family and making great use of its gender-swapped heroine. With Millie Bobby Brown as the lead, a satisfying mystery, and a couple of modern-ideas thrown in, it’s sure to spawn a long-lasting (and delightful) franchise.

Enola Holmes (Brown) is the youngest member of the Holmes family. Raised by her mother, Eudoria (Helena Bonham Carter), the 16-year-old’s observation, deduction, and fighting skills have been finely honed. Despite this, she’s been all but ignored by her older brothers Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and Mycroft (Sam Claflin). They only come to see her because Mrs. Holmes has disappeared. Determined to prove she’s destined for more than what society expects of her, Enola investigates.

Enola is a smaller version of the world-famous detective but in many ways, she isn’t. She's more emotional, younger, less experienced, and a woman. That last point may not sound like much but keep in mind the setting. In this period, all Enola is expected to do is find a husband and churn out some kids. She has to work twice as hard as her brothers to prove she's brilliant. Even with her skills, she has to bring up the “Holmes” name before anyone will give her the time of day. That’s a neat meta element. She’s got deduction smarts but her forward-thinking mother has neglected to teach her about flowers, dresses, proper table manners, etc. She has her work cut out for her whenever she wants to be conspicuous. This is where her “partner”, the runaway Viscount Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge) comes in. He’s her “Watson” and together they make a great team.

Director Harry Bradbeer (from a suggestion by Brown, who produced the film) frequently has Enola frequently breaks the fourth wall and detail the stages of her various plans through cutaways. We're following a wide-eyed, ambitious teen so this fits her personality but I don’t think the film needed them. You’re plenty satisfied just watching Millie Bobby Brown prove she's a great leading lady.

There are mysteries within mysteries and the characters we meet along the way do more than simply narrow the suspects; they also inform us about our heroine. Women and men speak to her differently than they would Sherlock. They tell her different things than they would him. It’s character and plot development at once. Then, there are the clues themselves. Eudoria’s trail of crumbs often consists of messages hidden inside anagrams. If you took the time to write down the letters and re-arrange them, you could decipher these clues. There’s gratification in knowing the film isn’t cheating. The fact that Enola does it so rapidly proves her intelligence.

Enola Holmes features a bright young star, the mystery has old-school charms and new ideas too. Every new clue makes you hungrier for more. Like Katniss Everdeen, she's going to be a favorite and a role model among teenage girls but there's something here for everyone. (September 26, 2020)

Ouvi o nosso querido Henry falando numa entrevista sobre o roteirista e o diretor e concordo plenamente com ele que um bom roteiro e uma boa direção são o segredo para que uma história seja um sucesso. Afinal, uma história bem contada é o que todos nós gostamos de ler, ver, ouvir! Amanhã vou assistir ao filme de novo, agora sem o impacto da expectativa da estreia e já sabendo do seu sucesso. Isso vai ser muito bom! 😁 #henrycavill #milliebobbybrown #samclaflin #helenabonhamcarter #louispartridge #susanwokoma #francesdelatour #fionashaw #burngorman #adeelakhtar #jackthorne #harrybradbeer https://www.instagram.com/p/CFlWQBMh6K_/?igshid=1f12aliivhwq1

#RepostPlus @obsessedwithmovies - - - - - - A new international poster and trailer for Amazon Studios’ upcoming bio-drama “Radioactive” have been released. The film, which stars Rosamund Pike, Sam Riley, Anya Taylor-Joy, Aneurin Barnard, Jonathan Aris, Simon Russell Beale, and Corey Johnson, was directed by Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis, The Voices) from a screenplay by Jack Thorne (Wonder, A Long Way Down), based on Lauren Redniss’ graphic novel “Radioactive: Marie & Pierre Curie: A Tale of Love and Fallout.” The film will tell “the story of Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie and her extraordinary scientific discoveries — through the prism of her marriage to husband Pierre — and the seismic and transformative effects their discovery of radium had on the 20th century.” “Radioactive” will be released sometime in 2020. What are your guys’ thoughts on the poster and trailer? #Radioactive #MarjaneSatrapi #RosamundPike #SamRiley #AnyaTaylorJoy #AneurinBarnard #JonathanAris #SimonRussellBeale #CoreyJohnson #JackThorne #LaurenRedniss #NewPoster #NewTrailer https://www.instagram.com/p/B2YWvYGjGTI/?igshid=11sei3d6h6xcg

The Secret Garden (2020)

Considering we’ve seen three other adaptations of The Secret Garden before (four if you count the lost 1919 version), this iteration's unlikely to be your favorite… but there’s certainly a chance. Though it tweaks the original material (in interesting ways), it maintains the spirit of Frances Hodgson Burnett's story about confronting - and overcoming - grief.

In 1947, Mary Lennox (Dixie Egerickx) is found alone in her home after her parents die from cholera. Sent from British India to live in her uncle’s large, isolated manor in England, Mary begins exploring the grounds and finds an abandoned garden that seems to possess near-magical properties.

We’ve seen plenty of movies that begin with a child being orphaned - it’s an easy way to address childhood fears of abandonment and set our protagonist on an unsupervised adventure. Rarely is it done this harshly. Dirty, alone, and hungry, Mary is rescued, only to be forced to abandon her childhood imagination and whisked off to a strange land where she's surrounded by adults who want nothing to do with her. You don't blame them; she's a brat. This means it can take a while before you warm up to our heroine and you will once the garden is discovered.

Ultimately, the film is about grief. There are many sad people in Misselthwaite Manor and they’ve all chosen to deal with their feelings by planting themselves in a corner and lashing out at anyone who approaches. No one embodies this better than Mary’s uncle (Colin Firth). He had every opportunity to deal with his feelings before Mary came around but he’s chosen not to. His mood has given the manor a haunted house-like feel. At night, you can hear wailing coming from the corridors Mary has been forbidden from exploring. He isn’t shedding tears over Mary's mother. It’s his wife - her sister - he laments but they were twins. It's clear their pain is linked and could be resolved if they only had a catalyst to fuel change...

Though some characters - like Amir Wilson's Dickon - are under-utilized, "The Secret Garden" does immerse you in its characters. You understand their anguish and when simple things brighten up Mary's day, you'll suddenly realize how attached you are to her. A friendly dog filled me with joy but also made me weary. I couldn't bear the thought of something bad happening to Jemima and wanted to look away... does that make me the same as Uncle Craven? As time passes, you open up like so many of the flowers in the secret garden. You also become ready to feel once more.

Although 2020's The Secret Garden doesn't quite reach the emotional level it wants to, the timeless story still resonates. The tweaks made to the source material keep this film timely and fresh - even for those who already know it. With so much gloom in the world right now, this may be exactly what your family needs.
