Reviews
- “Useless” offers a quietly subtle yet provocative portrait of globalization at its most human level. Jia refuses to spoon-feed us conclusions and opinions, leaving viewers to make up their own minds. However, one problem with the film is that Jia takes Ma’s assertion of her connections to rural life too much at face value.(Christopher Bourne , http://www.meniscuszine.com)
