History YMMV / Alfie

!! For the webcomic:

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Alfie herself. Either she’s a sympathetic, albeit flawed and naive, individual that’s trying to grow as a person, or she’s a manipulative piece of shit that deserves whatever she’s getting.
* BrokenBase: The Cillian/Nadia backstory is divided into three camps:
** Those who think Cillian is to blame for his ObliviousToHints about Nadia's growing want for casual sex.
** Those who think Nadia is to blame for not making her intentions clear, this camp has notable fury that Nadia decided to drop the bombshell with a poetry book instead of talking to Cillian.
** And the final camp being that both of them were idiots who handled their relationship problems in the worst possible way, with neither being at any real fault, just being young and dumb.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Alfie's mother Vera has proven to be quite popular with the fans, some even commenting that they prefer her subplot over the main story involving her daughter. This is no less helped by her character development, [[DecemberDecemberRomance her eventual relationship with Cillian]] and, of course, for being [[SilverFox pretty easy on the eyes]].
* FanNickname: “Worst Girl” for Alfie, due to her repeated strings of terrible actions in the caravan. Granted, it’s a title that can be passed around to other female characters as well, depending on how sympathetic Alfie is at the moment.
* StrangledByTheRedString: [[spoiler:Alfie/Ozge comes more or less out of nowhere, and is nearly immediately ruined by Alfie being Alfie.]]

* OneSceneWonder: Creator/DenholmElliott gives a memorably slimy performance as a back-alley abortionist.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The film is rated PG in the USA, but it is NOT for kids. It's about a playboy who can't stop having casual sexual relations with women and slowly finds emptiness through this pattern. He has extremely sexist attitudes and frequently refers to several of his many partners as "it" rather than "she" — hardly something children should be watching. It also deals with very mature themes like abortion, emptiness in relations, and the mental and physical consequences of such themes. When it was released in 1966, the subject matter initially warranted a "mature audience" advisory — however, in 1972 it was re-rated at PG[[labelnote:*]]back when it meant "parental guidance suggested - some material may not be suitable for pre-teenagers" and before the PG-13 rating was adopted in 1984[[/labelnote]]. In most countries it has a Category 4 rating (in the UK, for example, it's rated 15), but the US still retains the PG rating.
