PRAISE tells the bizarre, erotic tale of two down-on-their-luck individuals whose passionate affair threatens to save--or destroy--both their lives. Gordon (Peter Fenton) is an apathetic, chain-smoking asthmatic living in a grubby apartment in Brisbane. When he meets barmaid Cynthia (Sacha Horler), who suffers from eczema, the two begin to have sex, play Scrabble, and confront their pathetic situations. Based on a semi-autobiographical novel by Andrew McGahan, this festival favorite is an example of Australian cinema at its most quirky and impassioned. [More]

This contrived tale of sexual misfits plays out as little more than an endlessly drab exercise in ennui.
