Whimsical, Likable Fun with a Good Historical Message
10 November 2022
This movie is not spectacular, but is good at balancing many things at once. It kept me entertained, made me smile, informed me, and is overall a cute movie. A good blend.

  • A high-stakes case with well-placed, light humor
  • Sprinklings of romance that are cute but don't detract from the plot


Plot: Based on the real history of the match girls, a bit of historical knowledge is always welcome, and here, it makes all the difference in creating a memorable storyline.

Story picks up after about 45 minutes and becomes more interesting and fast-paced. Easy to follow logic.

Wish they dived more into Enola's mother's work, as they left this "loose end" ( ;) ) open after the first movie.

Characters: Likeable, but nothing too extraordinary. Enola is especially charming and brings heart and uniqueness to the movie.

Acting: Well done, but again, nothing too extraordinary given the type of movie it is.

Aesthetic: Beautiful and charming costumes, sets, and little animations throughout.
