Actress Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air) makes her directorial debut with this coming-of-age drama, set in the '60s within a tight-knit religious community.
Getting hitched and having a child at 18, Corinne's (Farmiga) adult life has been filled with hours of Bible study and preparation for the oncoming Rapture. But when her marriage deconstructs, Corinne brings her faith into question, a move that shakes her deeply spiritual community.
Based on the memoir of co-writer Carolyn S. Briggs, also starring John Hawkes (Contagion) and Donna Murphy (Tangled).
A shapeless collection of tonally diverse moments strung together with little organizing principle beyond the protagonist's identity struggles.
Sometimes it slips too easily into satire, but at least it's nuanced satire based on true believers who are basically nice and good people.
Deft, graceful and often poignant.
The same intelligence, wit and mature spirit that actress Vera Farmiga brings to her performances is richly apparent in her directorial debut as well.
The movie is flushed with hope, wonder, heartbreak.
