If you are looking for mindless entertainment with a religious theme, you will not want to see Higher Ground. There is nothing simple about this film; no black hats and whites hats, and no winner takes all. Higher Ground is a story told by Corinne ( Vera Farmiga ), and her struggles with belief and faith. Corinne never losses her faith, but she does question it. Corinne is an intelligent multi-dementional character who others view as being "luke-warm" with her belief and faith, everyone with the exception of Annika ( Dagmara Dominczyk ), and her mail carrier.
Higher Ground does however treat many of the films other characters as one dementional; following the religious patriarchs, with Corinne`s husband Ethan ( Josha Leonard ) as a card carrying member of followers. During the film the wedge between Ethan and Corinne widens as Ethan gets stronger in his faith, while Corinne just refuses to drink the kool-ade.
Higher Ground is not making my list of favorites, but this film is worth seeing.
