Just like her previous directorial venture, 'Late Night,' Nisha Ganatra's 'The High Note' tackles societal and gender norms in a male dominated industry. In this instance, the struggles that women, especially middle-aged black women, face in the music industry. Unfortunately, the movie can't quite reach its full potential due to to a script that seemingly can't decide whether it's aiming to tell a behind-the-music-industry drama, a go-for-your-dream fairy tale, and/or a more straightforward rom-com. Still, Tracee Ellis Ross is fantastic and Dakota Johnson is just pure magic.
