“The High Note” by Nisha Ganatra (2020)
(good) Movies directed by women
2020, a turbulent year!
A good message that gets diluted in the story, but a wide array of actors from various American minorities and melted altogether in a very natural way in the story
And then the lead: a woman, an artist, African-American, older than 40. What are her chances, she asks, of making a come back?
Nisha Ganatra uses the same premises as her successful Late Night to tackle another aspect of the music business. A few twists near the end of the movie are a bit overdone but they are quickly forgotten
