Review of Higher Ground (2011) by James C — 11 Feb 2012

I read the reviews and 79% of the critics reviewed this film favorably. I don't get it. I found it contrived, not very interesting, and obvious. Vera Farmiga directed as well as played the leading character.

I like her very much as an actress, and she was very good in the film. The film deals with faith and religion, and the loss of it. It could have been interesting, but I felt that every cliche you can think of was pulled out of the bag where this subject is concerned.

Nothing new, did not provoke any thought.
