Yes, Sia's 'Music' — the controversial musical about a young autistic woman — feels remarkably out of tune with its depiction of a neurodivergent heroine. That's not all it gets wrong, however.

If you only have time for one, however, go straight to “Thunderclouds.” It’s from Sia’s side project/supergroup LSD — the L is for Labrinth, the D for Diplo — and it features Ziegler in bothcosplay and rocking a big, bright-blue bow, yet another stylistic touch she’s borrowed from her pop-song partner in crime. Sia herself shows up via a marionette substitute. Labrinth hangs out on a cloud.

Music, we should note, is also the name of Ziegler’s character, who filters an overwhelming world through her headphones. Her grandmother , along with a network of neighborhood folks, keep an eye on Music as she goes from downtown apartment to newspaper kiosk to street vendor to the library. Meanwhile, her older sister Kazu — Zu for short — has sorta, kinda gone through a drug-rehab stint, and is looking for a place to crash.
