Movie Reviews

Time Out - 10/10 by Joshua RothkopfFunny and heartbreaking, this is a movie that would have made the '80s-era Jonathan Demme, attuned to American anxieties, blush with pride.
Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA spiritual drama that challenges viewers to map their own journey of faith, asking questions, having doubts, and seeking a closer connection with God.
Boxoffice Magazine - 10/10 by Ray GreeneHigher Ground is a weird film with some very nice moments, but its odd and offbeat combination of comic touches, serious spiritual subject matter and occasional surrealist interludes never quiet gels.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Melissa AndersonEven with her beatific face (the actress looks like one of Parmigianino's Madonnas), Farmiga is never wholly believable as a woman shaken by a crisis of belief.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanHigher Ground breaks crucial, sacred ground in American moviemaking.
Rolling Stone - 9/10 by Peter TraversFarmiga expertly guides a large and gifted ensemble cast and proves as fearless a director as she is an actress. She lights up Higher Ground and makes it funny, touching and vital.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThere are no heavy-handed portraits of holy rollers here, just people whose view of the world is narrow. There are also no outsize sinners, just some gentle singer-songwriters who are too fond of pot and whose lyrics are parades of cliches.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael PhillipsFarmiga's film doesn't state things directly, but we sense what is happening to Corinne, and how some turn to fundamentalism for complex and interconnected reasons.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Carrie RickeyCorinne's journey begins with an act of blind faith. The movie ends, but you have a palpable sense that the journey does not.
LarsenOnFilm - 9/10 by Josh Larsen...skeptical and yearning at the same time.
