A FILM BY Vera Farmiga
A FILM BY Vera Farmiga
How stimulating, and utterly refreshing, it is to see a movie with a distinctly female voice that deals with faith
-Leonard Maltin, IndieWire
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
