Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) You know what? This thing is sweetly affable even at its silliest. Rated: 3/5 Nov 26, 2020 Full Review Kimber Myers Crooked Marquee 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. Rated: C+ Nov 16, 2020 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) While Maggie eventually proves her competence as a producer, there's no attempt to suggest that her work is especially brilliant or groundbreaking. Nor could any claim remotely like that be made for The High Note. But all goes down easy. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views Ross plays Grace as a woman graciously accepting backhanded compliments from people who will never be as great as her. It could have been an intriguing intersectional study on power. Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Jillian Chilingerian Offscreen With Jillian Johnson and Ross have harmonious chemistry that makes this film play like a romantic comedy between two women from different backgrounds. Aug 30, 2023 Full Review Jane Freebury The Canberra Times (Australia) The High Note is helmed by female key creatives, led by two good female actors and makes some useful points about women in the music industry too. Rated: 3/5 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Kyle O Funny, charming, and heartwarming with some great music and an awesome cast. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Audience Member Dakota Johnson shines in the The High Note, delivering a charming performance as Maggie with big dreams of becoming a music producer. Her natural charisma and heartfelt portrayal make Maggie's journey both relatable and inspiring. Dakota's chemistry with the cast, particularly Tracee Ellis Ross, adds warmth and depth to this uplifting film. Loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Lou M Good movie. An easy watch. Solid acting, fantastic vocals. Better than expected. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review C L A My new favorite Dakota movie ♥️♥️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Steve D A bit contrived but entertaining. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Rosana B Aqueles filmes românticos e gostosinhos para assistir nos sábados frios, embalada por muita música bonita, porém por mim desconhecida, e na perfeita química entre o trio protagonista, e o produtor antagonista... Entretanto, foi o grau dramático que me conquistou me emocionei diversas vezes, nos vemos nos sonhos da jovem Dakota, e também na insegurança do novo cantor, e principalmente na experiência e medo real do descarte da experiente Grace... Plot Twist final foi perfeito, jamais imaginava... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
