Higher Ground comes with a wealth of advanced praise. Vera Farmiga’s directorial debut about a woman going through a spiritual coming of age in the ’60s premiered at Sundance to rave reviews, and the new trailer is packed to the gills with pull-quotes and flowery adjectives. Engrossing! Haunting! Startlingly Bold! Sounds great. Which is what makes the trailer so disappointing — this doesn’t really look like the work of the next great voice in American filmmaking, does it?
