Praise

About This Movie

Praise is this gritty little drama from '99 that dives into the messy lives of two young adults. The pacing feels almost aimless, which surprisingly works given the characters' aimlessness too. You get this raw atmosphere, heavy with the weight of addiction and self-loathing. The performances stand out, especially the dynamic between the two leads, who are both flawed and searching for something—maybe love, maybe just a distraction. The film doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths about body image and mental health, which gives it a distinctive edge. It’s not polished, but that’s part of its charm. Just a snapshot of a chaotic time in their lives, really.
