A Little Prayer Reviews
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
A tough, touching film...
The Playlist
Marya E. Gates
This little miracle of a film features a strong ensemble cast, mordant Southern humor, and sharp insights into the perils and comforts of loving with your whole heart.
TheWrap
Robert Abele
Laid out in scenes of everyday verisimilitude and quietly gathering heartache, MacLachalan weaves a tale of human frailty and strained connection rare in its avoidance of histrionics and its embrace of what makes us unknowable yet worthy of forgiveness.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Everyone is good to great, but [A Little Prayer] belongs to Strathairn and Levy, whose bond becomes the center of the film.
Nashville Scene
Cory Woodroof
Veteran actor David Strathairn delivers what might be the defining performance of his career with A Little Prayer.
The Film Stage
Jake Kring-Schreifels
The movie belongs to Straithairn, whose mild demeanor and weary wisdom gently extends the tradition of older actors--from Henry Fonda in On Golden Pond to Brian Dennehy in Driveways--coming to terms with their patriarchal responsibilities and regrets.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
This small scale, slow moving story of the secrets buried beneath the everyday pleasantries of a Southern family in turmoil has just enough grace and charm to keep it from sinking.
Movie Madness Podcast
Erik Childress
Angus MacLachlan brings the same homespun sensibility that he did with Junebug. David Strathairn and Jane Levy give what are sure to be two of the year's best performances and share a climactic scene that may rank as the year's most moving.
The Daily Beast
Matthew Jacobs
Lest you think we're dealing with some dour melodrama, know that A Little Prayer is lovely, restrained, and often quite funny.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Small-scale and finely tuned.
Showbiz Cheat Sheet
Jeff Nelson
A Little Prayer is tenderhearted in specks, but its melodrama degrades into a made-for-TV soap opera.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
A Little Prayer might be a small indie film but Jane Levy delivers one of the best performances in her career to date.
The Spool
Peter Sobczynski
A Little Prayer admittedly looks and feels as if designed in some kind of cinema laboratory specifically to premiere at Sundance. Nonetheless, to the film's considerable credit, it still proves well worth watching.
Showbiz Junkies
Rebecca Murray
Writer/director MacLachlan's A Little Prayer sneaks up on you if you just settle in and let it.
Fresh Fiction
Courtney Howard
Once again returning to poignant, deeply-rooted, familiar themes tied to family, the assured filmmaker delivers a story thick with character, grace and humanity.
Keith & the Movies
Keith Garlington
This delightful and warm-hearted ensemble film is a beautifully sketched family portrait that doesn't gloss over the imperfections that make us human...the results are honest and deeply affecting.
Variety
Peter Debruge
MacLachlan's writing style is at once honest and slightly elevated, the kind we're used to hearing on stage, where the structure of the entire script matters, and subtext is every bit as important as what's spoken.
United Press International
Fred Topel
It features strong performances and a few powerful scenes, but overall feels too uneventful.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Pete Hammond
It drifts into some soapy territory before it is over but is rescued by some fine acting, even if at times it feels more like a TV production than a gritty independent film.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A slow moving but smart indie drama.
