the world is quiet here

- female teenage protagonist (Enola) is 16, played by actual 16yr old Millie Bobby Brown instead of an adult woman

- love interest (Tewkesbury) is played by 17yr old Lewis Partridge and not a man that’s way older than Millie

- Enola is not sexualized once in the entire movie

- Enola is not made to look older than 16

- period movie that isn’t depressing or super dark

- criticisms on society that are very valid today

- Tewkesbury cries on screen (let men show their feelings 2020)

- Enola is not a damsel in distress, in fact she’s the one that goes out of her way to save Tewkesbury

- Enola is 90% of the time wearing an outfit that is comfortable on her and allows her to move freely, the only times she doesn’t are when she’s undercover

- a genuinly fun story that’s easy to follow, appropriate for kids and not boring to adults

- no love at first sight bullshit, it takes Enola ages before she realizes her feelings and love is not her main motivation

- Mycroft is an absolute abysmal human being and the movie never tries to sympathise with him. He’s just straight an asshole and isn’t given a redemption or sympathy
