A Little Prayer

Angus MacLachlan has brought forth such heartfelt performances here...especially from David Strathairn and Jane Levy, one almost feels like we're eavesdropping. This "small" movie is timeless and touching, and the love between a father-in-law and his daughter-in-law is fresh, sincere and very moving. Kudos for all who dedicated themselves to such a labor of love. In interviewing Mr. MacLachlan this last year at the Provincetown International Film Festival, I asked him why he obviously loves actors. His reply: "Because they can do two things at once. They can perform a function, like any of us, but they can also reveal themselves and their hearts."
