The High Note

An exceptional modern film about successful celebrity life and how people who live around fame are affected by it. The High Note deserves a lot of praise for the fresh, crispy idea behind its scrip and how it manages to handle the emotion it produces. Background music is of top caliber and adds a lot of credibilities. Lead Dakota John and main supporting actor Tracee Ellis Ross have electric chemistry between them and even though their scenes together are limited they manage to produce memorable experiences whenever given the chance.

Highs: Direction has style and conviction from beginning to end. Excellent music adds punch and boosts the ambiance. One twist in particular towards the end is subtle, sweet, and surprisingly welcoming.

Lows: Acting except for the lead and main supporting actors don't impress in particular which adds discredit to the character and dialogue writing team somewhat.

Rating: 4 ****
