It rather presents a quaint coming-of-faith tale that's not especially captivating to watch.

Yet there is something about the film, something about the way it is constructed, about what it is saying, that has struck some sort of interior chord with me, and as such I've been having plenty of trouble compiling my thoughts into one.

Vera Farmiga proves herself to be, right out of the box, a terrific director.

In refusing to take sides, Higher Ground really allows the story to be about the fullness of Corinne's faith journey.
