The High Note (2020)
In the 2020 musical drama, a pop diva must choose between rehashing old hits and pursuing her ambitious assistant’s plan at a turning point in her career.
The High Note stars Golden Globe winners Dakota Johnson (The Social Network, and the Fifty Shades movies) and Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish, Girlfriends), who was nominated for a 2020 People’s Choice Award and a Black Reel Award for her role as R&B singer and mega-star Grace Davis. BAFTA nominee Kelvin Harrison Jr (Waves, The Trial of the Chicago 7), Critics Choice nominee Bill Pullman (The Sinner, Independence Day), rapper Ice Cube and Emmy-winning comedian Eddie Izzard co-star.
FilmWeek calls it, “an enchanting and escapist summer movie … with so much love of music in its soul.”
