Having conquered the music industry, singer-songwriter Sia makes the
transition to filmmaking, writing and directing her first feature, the
musical drama Music.
The film stars Kate Hudson as a troubled woman who finds herself the
sole guardian of her autistic teenage half-sister, the titular Music (Maddie Ziegler).
Along with writing and directing, Sia has composed several new songs for
the film's musical numbers. The cast also includes Leslie Odom Jr and
Ben Schwartz.
Music is on UK Digital from February 15th.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Zu (Kate Hudson) is a free spirit estranged from her family who suddenly finds herself the sole guardian of her half-sister, Music (Maddie Ziegler), a teenager on the autism spectrum whose whole world order has been beautifully crafted by her late grandmother.
With a history of addiction issues that have challenged her self-worth and reliability, Zu can barely take care of herself and she struggles with the new responsibilities her sister brings. But Music gets by under the watchful and loving eye of her local community, including neighbour Ebo (Leslie Odom Jr.) and Zu soon learns that life’s obstacles can be made easier with a little help and the kindness of friends.
