What it's about

Adventure follows detective Enola Holmes to Malta, where her plans to tie the knot unravel when Sherlock's disappearance plunges her into a perilous case.

Why 13

The official rating, firstRated PG-13 in the US (parents strongly cautioned, some material may be inappropriate for children under 13). zinema never goes below the country's rating: it explains it.
rule
A missing brother, death threatsSherlock has vanished and Enola's investigation crosses Malta between threats, chases and people found dead; death is spoken of often, and a voice promises to find her and kill her.
Gunfire, fires, blowsSome twenty seconds of shooting, flames in several scenes, hand-to-hand fights and a few bloodied wounded; it is an adventure film, the action stays clean.
The restPeriod cigarettes, and a wedding that gets complicated, with no other innuendo.

What the movie brings

A heroine who investigates alone and marries if she wants: independence as a given, not a speech.
A mystery you can solve before she does, with the clues given to the viewer.
A sister looking for her brother: family before the mystery.

Watching it together

Before

Nothing to prepare for a child who has seen the first two; otherwise, introduce Enola as Sherlock's little sister who refuses to wait.

After

at 13 and up

Enola has to choose between her case and her wedding: what would she do if nobody were watching?
