A Little Prayer Ratings & Reviews
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
The movie is a labor of love about the never-ending emotional gut punch of parenthood and the individual's need to find some beauty, clarity and connection in the wreckage of a well-intentioned family.
Common Sense Media
Tara McNamara
Quiet and affecting, this slice-of-life drama is likely going to be most appreciated by older parents and grandparents.
FlixChatter Film Blog
Ruth Maramis
Strathairn is exquisite in this quiet but profoundly moving Southern family drama. MacLachlan's script is rich in subtlety, encouraging viewers to look for clues rather than just spoon-feeding them.
Spectrum Culture
Alex Nguyen
A Little Prayer is most effective when it explores family connection through what is left unsaid.
Screen Rant
Grant Hermanns
A Little Prayer keeps the slice-of-life genre alive thanks to its effective mix of a quietly rich atmosphere, truthful storytelling and performances.

Strathairn provides masterful work as Bill, capturing the turmoil within a man who's entire life is upended, finding powerlessness he's genuinely scared of.
Geek Vibes Nation
Dillon Gonzales
this movie taps into exactly what we want from cinema. This tender, exquisite gem is one of the year's best films
NPR
Bob Mondello
Strathairn lets you see what it costs him to do the right thing, even when that might make matters worse.
North Shore Movies
Daniel M. Kimmel
Strathairn is one of those people who we tend to take for granted, even though he's a plus in nearly everything he's in. In "A Little Prayer" he lets his eyes and his face convey much of his world-weariness, not broken but not whole either.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
A movie about a family in deep disarray. But the writer-director, Angus MacLachlan, is not one to exploit turmoil. He understands that people in distress are deserving of our fullest understanding.
MovieJawn
Lindsey Romain
Patchy and threadbare in places, it still coddles a part of the soul that films rarely get to anymore. We need stories like this that we can wander into, live inside of, and come out feeling a little more attuned to love.
New York Times
Natalia Winkelman
This is a filmmaker able to wrest real feeling from his actors, and from his audience.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
The film … is like a beautiful hand-wrought sculpture that's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Making it bigger would not have made it better. It's perfect just as it is.
Slant Magazine
Marshall Shaffer
The film patiently illustrates how places imprint themselves upon us and guide our actions.
The New Yorker
Justin Chang
"A Little Prayer" is spare yet brisk, and it unfolds with a graceful, almost musical sense of modulation: Camp and Weston, both veterans of MacLachlan's work, strike bracing high notes of acerbic wit.
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.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
A tough, touching film...
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.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Small-scale and finely tuned.
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.
