Enola Holmes is filled with amazing quotes — as are most movies that are based off of books. This movie hits Netflix 9/23 and you don’t want to miss it!
Enola Holmes stars Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, Sam Claflin, and Helena Bonham Carter — and it is a must watch movie coming to Netflix on September 23, 2020. It is based on a series of books, which I only discovered from the comments in my trailer reaction video on my YouTube Channel. I must say after watching the film, I am very interested in reading the books next. And I have my fingers crossed for many more movies.
This article is not my Enola Holmes review however, it is a collection of the best quotes from the Netflix movie, so let’s get into those!
Enola Holmes Movie Quotes
Netflix’s Enola Holmes has so many great quotes in it. Usually movies that are based on books do, especially when they take favorite quotes right from the pages of those books. I have not read the Enola Holmes series, so I cannot say what quotes were in the books and which ones are just from the Netflix movie.
But I can put together a list of my favorites. Those quotes that inspire, make me laugh, and are just well, the best from the movie! Here is that collection.

About Enola Holmes
England, 1884 – a world on the brink of change. On the morning of her 16th birthday, Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) wakes to find that her mother (Helena Bonham Carter) has disappeared, leaving behind an odd assortment of gifts but no apparent clue as to where she’s gone or why. After a free-spirited childhood, Enola suddenly finds herself under the care of her brothers Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and Mycroft (Sam Claflin), both set on sending her away to a finishing school for “proper” young ladies.
Refusing to follow their wishes, Enola escapes to search for her mother in London. But when her journey finds her entangled in a mystery surrounding a young runaway Lord (Louis Partridge), Enola becomes a super-sleuth in her own right, outwitting her famous brother as she unravels a conspiracy that threatens to set back the course of history.
Based on the beloved book series by Nancy Springer, ENOLA HOLMES is a dynamic new mystery-adventure that introduces the world’s greatest detective to his fiercest competition yet: his teenage sister. The game is afoot.
