Emotionally, the film strums on familiar strings, evoking a blend of nostalgia and mild emotional engagement, akin to hearing a song from your past. It's touching, but it doesn't quite tug at the heartstrings.

Pretty great follow-up
Following on from the decent first film, Enola now runs her own detective agency, but struggles to find work from in the shadows of older brother Sherlock. Eventually a case comes to her door which no-one else will touch - the case of a missing factory worker. Tackling the case head on Enola unearths murder, cover ups and a case that ultimatrly ends up being far bigger and involving a lot of dangerous people. Enlisting the help of a former love interest and Sherlock, can she unearth the truth? You know the answer.
The first film was a good watch, and this sequel follows it up nicely. The plot is interesting, the performances great... and there's much more danger and action this time round (Enola gets battered like a proper classic action hero - no doubt thanks to Millie Bobby Brown actually being an adult now!) and the whole film is just generally better and more exciting. It's also based on somewhat real events. Well worth a watch!
