A sharply observed romantic comedy-drama dissects the messy pursuit of happiness amidst midlife crises and infidelity. Following two interconnected couples in London, the film portrays a quietly desperate search for fulfillment—not through grand gestures, but in impulsive decisions driven by loneliness and misguided hope. Alfie’s abandonment of his wife triggers a cascade of yearning and self-deception, with both generations grappling with unrequited desires and the illusion of control, particularly through reliance on a charmingly dubious psychic. The film’s humor derives not from slapstick, but from the painfully relatable absurdity of flawed characters attempting to rewrite their narratives, resulting in a bittersweet exploration of marriage, aging, and the elusive nature of lasting connection.
