A LITTLE PRAYER Trailer: Sundance Family Drama Starring David Strathairn Arrives in August

David Strathairn and Jane Levy in A LITTLE PRAYER

Two years after it premiered at Sundance 2023, Junebug writer Angus MacLachlan’s latest directorial venture, A Little Prayer, is finally coming to U.S. theaters this summer. The family drama stars David Strathairn as a patriarch who forms a bond with his daughter-in-law (Jane Levy) while trying to keep his dysfunctional family afloat. It also stars Anna Camp, Will Pullen, Dascha Polanco, and Celia Weston.

Music Box Films is set to release A Little Prayer in theaters on August 29 in NYC at Angelika Film Center, and in LA at select Laemmle Theatres, with a national rollout to follow.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Bill (David 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 (Anna Camp) has returned home after the collapse of her marriage, while his son David (Will Pullen) struggles to stay afloat. He has brought David into the family business, but harbors doubts about his discipline and commitment. Bill gravitates towards Tammy (Jane Levy), his daughter-in-law and 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. A heart-tugging drama about finding kindred spirits in unexpected places, A Little Prayer is a sensitive and searching portrait of an American family from writer-director Angus MacLachlan.
