Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"[Featuring] Tracee Ellis Ross as an R&B superstar on the unforgiving side of 40....Her Grace Davis is a self-absorbed diva with just enough warmth and realness to keep us in her corner as she takes the blows of an industry eager to put her out to the pasture of a Las Vegas residency." - 05/25/2020 Hollywood Reporter
"Ross, in her first movie role since 'Black-ish'premiered six years ago, is playing a music legend who seems a synthesis of Alicia Keys and Madonna, and she makes her a formidable figure." - 05/25/2020 Variety
"THE HIGH NOTE is a movie with its heart in the right place and appeal to spare..." - 05/28/2020 RogerEbert.com
"It’s a cool idea: cast Tracee Ellis Ross as a pop superstar very much in the mold of her mother, diva supreme Diana Ross....She’s unstoppable." - 05/28/2020 Rolling Stone
"Dakota Johnson claims the center of THE HIGH NOTE on the strength and general excellence of the actors around her. Every one of them is a blessing..." - 05/28/2020 New York Times
"Directed with a breezy, fast-paced style by Nisha Ganatra and featuring a strong script by Flora Greeson, THE HIGH NOTE is an old-fashioned Hollywood story about dreamers and stars..." - 05/27/2020 Chicago Sun-Times
