The High Note

Translated from swedish: Not a film that reinvents the wheel, but still very entertaining. It delivers the right elements; beautiful singing, skilled actors and solid direction. All of that together elevates "The High Note" above average.

Translated from swedish: "The High Note" hits every classic rom-com note without being ashamed of its formulaic approach. But the execution is solid and the characters come across as quirky LA residents rather than silly comedy cardboard cutouts, which feels refreshing in this context.

Translated from swedish: "The High Note" is a delightful and very enjoyable musical film about reconciliation and fighting for your dreams. I'm grinning widely at the upbeat finale and realize that I've probably been smiling more or less throughout the entire movie. It was a bit timid at times and could have dared to do more than just dream. But I feel energized and genuinely happy afterwards, which is probably more than I dared to dream of beforehand.

Translated from swedish: "The High Note" is part romance, part hopeful escapism, part behind-the-scenes drama, and a dash of rather halfhearted music industry critique. All wrapped up in both butter and sugar and unfortunately topped with a twist that pushes the outer limits of how hard it's physically possible to roll your eyes.

Translated from swedish: Most of the movie is predictable and we've seen it all in tons of films before.
