Emmy® nominee and Golden Globe® winner Tracee Ellis Ross (“Blackish”) stars as Grace Davis, a music icon who elevates her career to the next level with the help of Maggie, her ambitious assistant (Dakota Johnson; Fifty Shades of Grey franchise), in the delightful and glamorous film that brings a lighthearted humor to the illustrious and trendy LA music scene. Directed by Nisha Ganatra ( Late Night ) and written by Flora Greeson, a former personal assistant in the music industry, THE HIGH NOTE features a showstopping cast alongside Ross and Johnson including Kelvin Harrison, Jr. ( Luce ), Bill Pullman (“The Sinner”), Zoë Chao ( Where’d You Go, Bernadette ), and June Diane Raphael ( The Disaster Artist ) with Eddie Izzard ( Ocean’s Thirteen ) and Ice Cube ( Ride Along ).

Set in the dazzling world of the LA music scene comes the story of Grace Davis (Ross), a superstar whose talent, and ego, have reached unbelievable heights. Maggie (Johnson) is Grace’s overworked personal assistant who’s stuck running errands, but still aspires to her childhood dream of becoming a music producer. When Grace’s manager (Ice Cube) presents her with a choice that could alter the course of her career, Grace must choose between playing it safe or listening to her heart in a decision that could change her life forever. Entertaining and hilarious, THE HIGH NOTE is an uplifting must-own film with a profound message that reminds audiences everywhere to follow your dreams.

I would have probably seen this in a theater if it had been released under normal circumstances. Once the Blu-ray comes down and the cost of a digital rental becomes normal, I might consider doing that. Dakota Johnson and Tracie Ellis Ross have both been great in other things, and Nisha Ganatra directed Late Night, which I very much enjoyed last year.

Considering that it just came out in May for the premium VOD rental, this is a quick turnaround and underscores why it's better to wait and not pay $20 to rent a new release.
