Primary

This movie demonstrates a notable departure from traditional casting by featuring a female character in the role of Sherlock Holmes's primary assistant, a position historically held by a male. However, the narrative itself maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities and does not center on explicit DEI critiques.
