Vera Farmiga's directorial debut, Higher Ground, depicts the landscape of a tight-knit spiritual community thrown off-kilter when one of their own begins to question her faith. Inspired by screenwriter Carolyn S. Briggs' memoir, This Dark World, the film tells the story of a thoughtful woman's struggles with belief, love, and trust-in human relationships as well as in God.

Corinne's journey is riveting not because she seeks the divine, but because she finds herself. -- Jeannette Catsoulis, NPR

High praise for Vera Farmiga, a stunner of an actress, who makes her directing debut with the same bold instincts for sharp humor and harsh truths that mark her performances. -- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

There is something remarkable - you might even say miraculous - about the way "Higher Ground" makes its gentle, thoughtful way across the burned-over terrain of the American culture wars. -- A.O. Scott, New York Times
