Review For Movie Higher Ground

Vera Farmiga makes a heavenly debut as a director with Higher Ground, a compelling drama about a woman's spiritual journey.
Leah Rozen-The Wrap

The film's quiet realism demands from us our own act of faith: We're asked to watch closely and to listen intently in the promise of a greater reward to come. Well, the promise is partly kept.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail

Farmiga's first film is good enough to make us look forward to her next one.
Peter Howell-Toronto Star

The film is refreshingly free of proselytizing. In its place, however, is a whiff of condescension.
Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post

This film might easily have settled for mocking religion. Instead, it's a fascinating glimpse into a culture that forces some people to choose between fitting in and opting out.
Calvin Wilson-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

At times, these analogies feel forced. But give the rookie filmmaker credit for visual storytelling.
Carrie Rickey-Philadelphia Inquirer

Higher Ground is a fantastic debut for Farmiga.
Glenn Dunks-Trespass

Farmiga challenges herself and the viewer. Some may shrink from that challenge, but thankfully, our gutsy director and star never does
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Movies don't often show the religious fervor of characters like these with such earnestness, and Farmiga's layered performance helps the movie through some rough patches.
Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com

Above all, Farmiga tells Briggs' story with authenticity, going for small, believable moments instead of big dramatic ones.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)

A rich, sometimes rewarding, yet deeply flawed work that sometimes gets things so right that it's hard not to forgive it when it doesn't.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

What makes 'Higher Ground' fascinating is that it also shows how communities like the one Biggs belonged to can also be appealing.
Dan Lybarger-KC Active

A shaky but interesting directorial debut...
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

Vera Farmiga proves herself to be, right out of the box, a terrific director.
Alonso Duralde-What the Flick?!

This cool, calculated who's-hunting-who piece that brings home all the requisite tension, gunplay and fighting with a great deal of cinematic style.
Jim Schembri-The Age (Australia)

Farmiga makes an astounding directorial debut in this emotionally-charged film in which doubt brings challenging questions and faith proves to not be the magic elixir in dealing with life's misfortunes.
Keith Cohen-Entertainment Spectrum

It lubes its audiences' mental gears and sets them to spinning without insulting anyone and without issuing threats of eternal damnation. Subtlety, thy name is Vera.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune

A dignified and graceful first-person account of how a belief system is created and sustained, and evolves.
Duane Dudek-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Farmiga has etched something deeply personal and idiosyncratic here: a movie about a character who is simply trying to understand herself and her world -- and that opens up a lot of angst and conflict.
Peter Galvin-sbs.com.au

All the performances are totally believable, no-one is satirised, the true faith of the believers is seen in a way as enviable.
Margaret Pomeranz-At the Movies (Australia)

Higher Ground is a delicate exploration of faith gained and lost, told through strong acting and graceful direction by Vera Farmiga.
Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews

It's repetitious and simply boring for anyone not touched by the holy spirit.
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile

A dense and sensitive exploration of life, love and spiritual enlightenment
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile

Higher Ground grapples with weighty issues in a mature and pensive manner, reinstating a measure of faith in the way Hollywood's disciples are willing to tackle this thorny subject.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing

...skeptical and yearning at the same time.
Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm
