Zu, a free spirit estranged from her family, suddenly finds herself the sole guardian of her half-sister, Music, a teenager on the autism spectrum whose whole world order has been beautifully crafted by her late grandmother. The film soon challenges whether it is Zu or Music who has a better view of the world, and that love, trust, and being able to be there for each other is everything.

this might actually be the worst movie i have ever seen. frankly it’s insulting to autistic people.
autism speaks is a very incredibly harmful group that borders on conversion therapy and this is a very well known fact, it is incredibly tone deaf.
this feels like bullying autistic people and not at all an attempt to highlight the struggles autistic people face.
there are so many autistic actors out there who could have been cast in the role of music but instead sia chose to cast a neurotypical actor, how insulting.
this is incredibly abelist i cannot believe i wasted my time watching it.
i would give it 0 stars but that’s not an option.

I’m leaving a review but I’m not rating it because I refuse to give it a score of 1/2 when it deserves a 0. This is the only film that I find genuinely insulting to me personally. As a young man with autism, I felt better represented by fucking Rain Man than this. At least that film had the decency to be a good movie.
