Let me stop you for one quick second before we get into this… If you have clicked on this review to see another critic tear Sia apart for her ill-advised casting choices, then you may as well jog on because that discussion has no place here. I completely understand the argument and why people are having a go; I have my opinions on the matter but, unlike 90% of the internet, I don’t have much interest in expressing them here. This right here is a review of the movie and the performances therein.
With that little bit of housekeeping out of the way we can get into the directorial debut of Sia with Music, a movie I knew very little about until the trailer dropped.

Music is the feature-length directorial debut of singer-songwriter Sia. It is a musical drama which stars Maddie Ziegler as the title character Music, a young teenage girl who is autistic and is left to be raised by her estranged half-sister Zu (played by Kate Hudson) after her grandmother suddenly passes. Zu can barely look after herself as she is a recovering addict and drug dealer. She struggles at first, not having the slightest clue how to look after her sister and her needs, but soon enough she finds some sort of rhythm with the help of neighbours George (played by Héctor Elizondo) and Ebo (played by Leslie Odom Jr.).
There has been a lot of controversy surrounding this film on two factors, the first being the casting of the title character, Music. Maddie Ziegler is well known to Sia as she has danced in a lot of her music videos,...
