bbook: Farmiga, 38, gracefully sips her Chimay and picks at her Brussels sprouts, insisting that I try one. She’s right, they’re amazing. They’re also easier to digest than the controversial subject of her latest film, Higher Ground. It’s her debut as a director, and she plays the adult version of the film’s protagonist, Corinne, who comes of age in an evangelical Christian community in the Midwest and begins to question her faith as her marriage falls apart. With a delicate yet confident touch both in front of and behind the camera, Farmiga creates a narrative that makes the Christians—who are as fervent as they come—relatable, and renders Corinne’s search for something to believe in as vivid as a baptism in the cold waters of a mountain lake.
