There’s something magical about watching great actors fully inhabit their characters—especially when a talented director gives them the space to riff and discover new layers. In A LITTLE PRAYER —the latest drama from acclaimed writer-director Angus MacLachlan (Junebug)—the performances feel lived-in, heartfelt, and deeply human.
Veteran stars David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck) and Celia Weston (Dead Man Walking) portray an older married couple navigating the challenges of their adult children. But their greatest joy? Their daughter-in-law—played by breakout talent Jane Levy (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist). Levy delivers a luminous performance, balancing sweetness and steel, evoking comparisons to Amy Adams in the Oscar-nominated Junebug.
Lightning may not strike twice, but Angus MacLachlan has once again discovered a new star. Jane Levy’s role in A LITTLE PRAYER confirms she’s one to watch in American independent cinema.
