Where: Crave
What: Film, 113 mins.
When: Now
Genre: Comedy drama
Why you should watch: For a bit of comfort viewing on a cold night in, curl up to the R&B stylings of fictional star Grace Davis. Davis, played by Tracee Ellis Ross, is a legendary singer at a fork road in her career. She’s supported by Dakota Johnson’s character Maggie, a personal assistant desperate to take the leap into record producing. Between private jets, sequinned gowns and decked-out recording studios, there’s troubled romance and a glimpse at the struggles of a Black woman over 40 fighting to stay in the charts. The High Note is a low-stakes flick that has you rooting for everyone in it.
