Ziegler’s performance is the best thing about Music. For friends and family members of those on the spectrum, it’s a revelation and an acknowledgment that people with autism can be remarkable without having remarkable abilities like those found in Rain Man or Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.

The ‘bad sibling comes good helping the autistic one’ plotline isn’t exactly new (hullo, Rain Man), and there isn’t much more meat on the bones here. Where Music really stumbles, though, is in its fantasy musical interludes. Read full review

Overused, hyper-stylised pop numbers aren’t enough to mask the catastrophic misjudgements that Sia has exercised here. Were Music merely hokey it could be forgiven, but its ham-fisted approach to sensitive issues make this a massive misfire. Read full review

This movie is literally and figuratively saying music can save your life, but the execution is all treacle and dust—overly sweet and utterly empty. Read full review

An old-fashioned piece of shameless hokum, Sia’s Music might be hilarious if it weren’t so offensive. Read full review

"Why don’t you watch my film before you judge it?” Sia tweeted in November, when outrage about the movie’s casting started to percolate. Well, I have watched the film, I am judging it, and it’s awful. Read full review

Music the movie is an amazing work of art when you put aside all the controversies surrounding its casting choices.

Most people would rate it before they watch it but once you actually watch it you realize that it’s more than just a story about an autistic girl. It shows a sense of community, learning to love, and the struggles of drug addiction and sobriety. The movie does an incredible job depicting all of those things. And it comes with an AMAZING soundtrack. You will be in tears by then end of it that is a guarantee. Bravo Sia.… Expand

Sia's world is visionary and uplifting: her music, her videos, her film. Consequently the autism theme is a McGuffin to express her "feel-good movie", and I see no problem in finally treating autism like any other human condition, freeing it from that protected reserve aura that surrounds it. Sia is a debutant and his musical is full of flaws, in my opinion the most serious is the intention of wanting to soothe a poorly present and presented drama: compare "Nobody said it was easy" (Coldplay - "The Scientist", 2002) with "Nobody said it would be easy" (Kate Hudson - "Easy", 2021).… Expand
