Oscar nominee David Strathairn anchors this poignant Southern family drama from writer-director Angus MacLachlan (Junebug). With standout performances from Jane Levy, Anna Camp, Will Pullen, and Dascha Polanco, A Little Prayer is a heart-tugging drama about finding kindred spirits in unexpected places.
Bill (Strathairn) is a pillar of his Southern community: a business owner, a veteran, and the proud patriarch of an unruly but loving family. His daughter Patti (Camp) has returned home after the collapse of her marriage, while his son David (Pullen) struggles to stay afloat. Bill gravitates towards his daughter-in-law Tammy (Levy) as the only other person in his rambunctious household who values contemplation and repose.
When Bill begins to suspect that David may be straying from his marital vows with a coworker (Dascha Polanco), the father must confront the perplexing inscrutability of his son’s choices and their consequences for the rest of the family.
