The star pupil at an élite London girls' school, Jenny has her eyes on Oxford, but can't help giving a longing glance at the world of luxe, of fine art and good restaurants, that she is mad to enter. Admission to the dolce vita is the apple held out by her new friend David (Peter Sarsgaard), a suave businessman twice her age.

The girl has the burden of carrying the first half of the movie virtually alone, and does so effortlessly - as if she knows she was born to be appreciated in gigantic closeup - but unself-consciously, without the preening assertiveness of so many child actors. Thanks to Richards, Lyra is the complex character she should be: both earthy and magical...
