Her next film was Henry’s Crime, a surrealist romantic comedy in which Vera Farmiga played stage actress Julie Ivanova. The film’s world debut took place at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.
She later portrayed Capt. Colleen Goodwin in Duncan Jones’ science fiction thriller Source Code, which had its global premiere at the 2011 South by Southwest film festival. Due to her pregnancy, Farmiga declined a lead role in Marc Forster’s action film Machine Gun Preacher in that same year.
With the low-budget Christian drama Higher Ground, in which she also acted as the lead character Corinne Walker while carrying her second child, Farmiga made her directorial debut. The film received generally positive reviews after its international premiere at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
Family members of Farmiga, including her cousin Adriana Farmiga, who played the character of an art curator, her sister Taissa Farmiga, who played Corinne as a teenager, and her husband Renn Hawkey, who acted as producer and musical director, all contributed to the production.
She received nominations for the Satellite Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture and the Gotham Independent Film Award for Breakthrough Director for her work in the film, which she both directed and acted in. The critics praised her portrayal, describing it as sincere and compassionate.
The flaky New Age mother Wendy Whitman in the independent comedy-drama Goats, which made its world premiere at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, was Farmiga’s next acting role.
Is Vera Farmiga a smoker?
Farmiga admitted that she perhaps went too far when she began smoking. “I don’t think I would do that again because I came out of this movie with an addiction,” she laughs. Farmiga eventually gave up the habit.
