Higher Ground, Oscar-nominated Actress Vera Farmiga.s (Up In The Air) directing debut, is a moving drama about one woman.s religious faith. It.s based on the memoir This Dark World by Carolyn S. Briggs (who co-wrote the screenplay with Tim Metcalfe) and does something rarely seen in movies today; it treats Christianity in a frank and respectful way without judging or ridiculing those whose lives revolve around it. Higher Ground is a well-made, well-written, and superbly acted film that approaches its subject with intelligence and sensitivity. However one may feel about the fundamentalist brand of spirituality, or about religion in general, this film will make you feel the Power of the Lord over Man !! (or in this case, Woman) .....or maybe not. At the very least it presents, in Ms Farmiga, an exciting new filmmaking talent.
