A Little Prayer

Bill is a loving father in the American South who learns that his son is cheating on his wife, Tammy. Rather than confront the couple directly, he tries to work out how far a father-in-law can go in protecting his daughter-in-law without overstepping. That question drives the conflict at the center of A Little Prayer, a 91-minute drama released in the United States on August 29, 2025.

The film is written and directed by Angus MacLachlan, who also shares producing credits with Max A. Butler and Lauren Vilchik. David Strathairn leads the cast as Bill, with Jane Levy as Tammy. Dascha Polanco, Celia Weston, Anna Camp and Steve Coulter round out the cast.

On IMDb, the film holds a 7 out of 10 from 962 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 5.6 out of 10 from a smaller pool of 12 votes. A film critics' rating of 7.8 out of 10 from 62 reviews places it above those audience scores, indicating that reviewers responded to it more warmly than the general viewing public did.
