Useless

About This Movie

So, 'Useless' is this quiet little drama that really gets under your skin. It’s set in the vast, sweeping landscapes of Western Montana, which adds this kind of haunting beauty and isolation to Jessie’s struggle. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit with her grief and confusion as she navigates life after her mother's sudden death. The bull rider subplot injects a bit of youthful bravado into the mix, but it’s really Jessie’s emotional journey that grips you. Performances are solid, especially from the lead—she captures that raw vulnerability perfectly. And there's this subtlety in the way it approaches family ties and healing, which I think makes it stand out, even if the director remains a mystery. Definitely a film that lingers in your thoughts.
