The High Note won me over thanks to the nice soundtrack and the unpretentious story, which smacks of cliché at times, but doesn't offend in any major way - moreover, the film deserves a thumbs up for the minor plot twist at the end, even if it was a bit of emotional blackmail. The cast was mostly decent, I was a bit surprised by Tracee Ellis Ross' age, and in the case of Dakota Johnson I still saw a bit of Anastasia in there, but so be it. Ice Cube had his typical pissed-off look on his face, and I liked the cameos by Bill Pullman and Eddie Izzard. In the case of Kelvin Harrison, it was a promising surprise (btw, his age surprised me a bit too). A nicely made little thing for a stronger three stars! ()
