Save Yourselves!
A rom-com focused on a couple disconnecting for self-improvement unexpectedly morphs into sci-fi shenanigans. Refreshing to see the unskilled try to survive in the apocalypse, but so many disparate genres stuffed into one quirky story feels like more is less.

Kajillionaire
Kajillionaire has its fair share of laughs and absurd situations to make the audience appreciate the quirk, but poke hard enough beneath those layers, and there is a very stunted and confused girl who has no idea how to interact with the world.

Enola Holmes
Transferring Sherlock talents onto a younger sister is all well and good if it encourages new audiences to employ Enola Holmes as a springboard to some of the more challenging and enigmatic versions out there. Yet, unconnected with the larger Sherlock world, Enola relies more on idiosyncratic quirks and twitchy editing at the expense of a more quixotic mystery to solve. I recognize the mystery is built more for those with far less knowledge of the canon, but any Holmes character comes with certain expectations this script is not sharp enough to meet.
