The High Note stars Tracee Ellis Ross as Grace Davis, a highly successful singer who is now over 40 and being pushed into a corner and forced to accept a very generous deal to be a music producer, she finds the courage to record fresh tracks rather than repeat the same process she’s been following for the past 10 years.
Ice Cube is great in the movie as Grace’s manager.
But Grace gets her inspiration from her personal assistant of the past three years, Maggie, who is perfectly played by Dakota Johnson from the 50 Shades series.
Ellis is also very giving in the movie, giving Dakota her own storyline about her relationship between her and her aspiring talent.
Jealousy causes a real riff in the movie when Grace discovers Maggie is working with another talent, even if it is on her own time.
