We watched Enola Holmes 2! And, in a rare surprise, we don’t really agree on our opinion of the movie!

Moni’s biggest issue (and it’s a good one!) is that the film portrays historical events in a not so accurate way. This brings up a discussion on the line between historical accuracy and creative storytelling – how much can you change history to suit a story?

Here’s what else we talked about:

• where is the line between historical accuracy and creative fiction
• the true story of the 1888 match girl strike
• humanising Sherlock Holmes
• Being your own person
• the importance of community and not doing it alone
• creating opportunities
• police corruption (#ACAB)
• diversity in role casting
• women preparing to save women
• moariarty reimagined
