Good for Nothing presents this intriguing character study of Ka Fai, who, despite being 35, has the vitality of an 18-year-old. It's a curious premise that plays with notions of immortality and purpose. The pacing may feel a bit uneven at times, but it leans into the emotional weight of his experiences. The atmosphere is a mix of realism and surrealism, underscored by the simple yet effective practical effects that emphasize the gravity of his near-misses. Ka Fai’s interactions with Mary are particularly poignant, as her belief in his 'gift' serves as a mirror to societal expectations and the burden of potential heroism. It’s a film that invites reflection on the cost of survival, making it distinctively thought-provoking.
