The High Note Ratings & Reviews
Crooked Marquee
Kimber Myers
Like a ... pop song that leaves your head the second it's over, The High Note is pleasant enough while you're experiencing it, but it refuses to linger after the credits roll.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
At its worst it still has the natural charm and skills of Davis and Harrison Jr. on which to coast.
Thrillist
Esther Zuckerman
The world of The High Note is a sun-soaked, music filled Los Angeles, where everyone gets what they want. It's a nice world to disappear into.
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
Most impactful is what The High Note has to say about the effort required for a woman like Grace Davis to achieve and maintain the success she has, even though it means stifling her own creativity.
Andscape
Soraya Nadia McDonald
Ross is an actress who consistently punches above the weight class of the material she's given. And yet in the biggest moment of her film career to date, it's obvious that she deserves more, too.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The sincere charm of this romantic comedy triumphs over its plodding pace and narrow purview.

Sara Michelle Fetters
The High Note is so much fun to watch any issues I have keep evaporating into the ether almost as if they never existed in the first place.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
This is an enchanting and escapist summer movie... And it has something to say about the male-driven world of pop music.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Amy Nicholson
A movie with so much love of music in its soul. I had the best time watching this.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Tracee Ellis Ross and a supremely entertaining story...she powerfully belts out six new songs while playing a beloved pop singer determined to stay cool.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
It's a bummer. "The High Note" has a chance to tell an original story about the inner-workings of the music business. Instead, it's satisfied playing the greatest hits.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"The High Note" is a glossy, enjoyable, not at all believable show business fairy tale starring two show business princesses: Tracee Ellis Ross (daughter of Diana Ross) and Dakota Johnson (daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson).
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
Ross is never less than compelling... Johnson is always easy to watch; Harrison is a dynamic presence, and as for Ice Cube, his low-key comedy is a delight, especially when he's thinking about his weight and waxing dismissively about Pilates and salads.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Angelica Jade Bastién
The film is too afraid to look at thorny topics, like the class divide between Maggie and Grace, or the fight that Grace has to pitch every day to maintain her professional standing.
Paste Magazine
Amy Amatangelo
Light, fluffy and sugarcoated, The High Note feels like a throwback to another time when studios produced movies with the sole purpose of putting a little spring in viewer's step.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
The High Note opts to be purely enjoyable and isn't afraid to be a little corny, and thanks to its central performers, it's entirely charming.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
The High Note is a breezy way to kill a few hours. Granted, it's more an opening act than a headliner, but that simply makes its digital, on-demand residency feel like the venue where the film rightfully belongs.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Though Tracee Ellis Ross is killer good acting and singing the role of a pop superstar who makes life hell for her personal assistant (Dakota Johnson), this fitfully entertaining diva dramedy hits too many wrong notes to go the distance.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
An inviting opportunity for two likable actors, Dakota Johnson and Tracee Ellis Ross, to simply exist on screen together, fluid in their casual appeal and gracefully bringing a sappy, aspirational story to mostly credible life.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
A little flat and kind of a mess, but a low-key and pleasant one that goes down agreeably enough for most of its running time.
