Higher Ground

Vera Farmiga's directorial debut, Higher Ground, is gentle, humane, and a triumph of sympathetic imagination. Farmiga plays Corinne, who becomes a Christian fundamentalist after an accident that almost—but doesn't, praise God—take the life of her baby girl. Praying and singing with her relaxed and friendly band of worshippers (beards, buitars, "Kumbaya"), she is truly radiant, at least until the dissonances creep in. Farmiga doesn't condescend to the characters, even at their most mindlessly doctrinaire: She envies their certainty. It's like A Doll's House if Nora couldn't stay but couldn't entirely leave. Farmiga's performance equals her directing. Praise Whomever.
