Alfie (2004) Movie Review - The Hollywood News (984 words)
Alfie plays a limo driver, which is an apt metaphor for his tendency to cruise in and out of the lives of women, with a mobile bedroom.
As the initial infatuation begins to wear thin, Alfie is forced to confront his own inherent shallowness, and to face the fact that it isn’t so much that the women he beds aren’t lovely and wonderful - it’s that he is incapable of maintaining a lasting relationship because he is pathologically incapable of remaining satisfied.
Alfie is ultimately a very lonely individual, who suffers from the inability to find someone or something to fill the void in his heart.
