Alfred and Jakobine is a documentary that really draws you in with its intimate portrayal of love and memory. Alfred Hobbs, at 84, embarks on this personal journey across America in an old London taxi, the same one he and his love drove around the world decades ago. It’s a slow burn, but there’s a warmth in the way he reflects on the past. The pacing feels like a leisurely drive, allowing you to soak in the landscapes and the bittersweet nostalgia. The practical effects are minimal, but the realness of Alfred’s emotions is what stands out. It’s not just about the search for Jakobine; it’s also about the passage of time and the scars we carry from our choices.
