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.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A carefully observed portrait of spiritual doubt within an insular evangelical community, following one woman's quiet unraveling as she questions the beliefs that have defined her life and relationships. Intimate and occasionally unsettling, it examines faith not as certainty but as something fragile enough to crack.
