• A quote about Romola Garai from the Guardian's review of Angel:
  

  "...it's the performance of Romola Garai that makes the film something more than a game of film references and fashion gags. The young actress, just 26 and most recently seen in Joe Wright's Atonement after roles in Inside I'm Dancing and I Capture the Castle, gives Angel her all in a display that zips from hysterical to wild to vulnerable and sexy and back again...In Garai's hands, Angel becomes a tragic figure, caught between her own dreams and ambitions and a duller and more vicious reality. Her childish tantrums, feminine wiles and feminist independence are by turns admirable, laughable and pitiable..."
