"You cannot let sexual chemistry burn out!" Sony Pictures Classics has debuted the official trailer for Higher Ground, the religions indie directed by actress Vera Farmiga, who also stars in it. The film has been called "a rich, sprawling, uplifting, disquieting, at once demystifying and mysterious drama about the life and love and heartbreak and faith of one woman in America who's an evangelical Christian" and received mostly positive reviews at Sundance this year. It doesn't look as funny or engaging as I thought it would, but I might still check this out. The cast includes Joshua Leonard, John Hawkes and Donna Murphy.
