Higher Ground
I went and saw Higher Ground tonight and really liked it. It was poignant and funny and at times hit very close to home. There were conversations and scenes that seemed eerily familiar from my own years as a fundamentalist Christian. But it was also respectful of its subjects and their earnestness. They were not made into caricatures. It did not mock, but it did gently poke and prod.

Hey Danny - Where's that playing? I want to see it too. Did you know it was based on a true story (or at least a memoir)?
Hi Omar, right now it is playing in "select cities" which seems to mean Los Angeles and New York. I happened to be in Los Angeles last week, which is how I managed to see it. The movie seems to be getting quite a lot of "buzz" however, so I imagine it will get widely distributed--probably to art house cinemas. I haven't read the memoir it is based on, but I did poke around a bit on the auther's website: http://www.carolynsbriggs.com/
