Richard Propes

In refusing to take sides, Higher Ground really allows the story to be about the fullness of Corinne's faith journey.

...fueled by an emotive ensemble, featuring Farmiga as a devout woman who resists the patriarchal constraints of her faith. It's an offbeat peek into how a rock n roll generation copes with Jesus...

Three Imaginary Girls

Amie Simon

One of those quiet, thoughtful Indies that comes along every once in awhile-leaving an impression.

It can seem a bit of a mishmash at times, but it's all held together thanks to some impressive acting from the three versions of Corinne and a script that tackles a subject most screenwriters won't touch in any meaningful way.

It rather presents a quaint coming-of-faith tale that's not especially captivating to watch.
