Reverted 2 edits by 94.13.35.21 (talk): Why are you removing references?
Undid revision 1014152358 by Ashleyyoursmile (talk) Statement is referenced further down, although I've now included that separate reference. Leads do not always need to be referenced within the lead. The first edit did not remove any references too, so shouldn't have been reverted. Invisible note also added.

The film began development following Sia's announcement of the project in 2015. Originally intended as a non-musical film, it was subsequently re-conceived as a musical with a larger budget. A [[Music – Songs from and Inspired by the Motion Picture|studio album by Sia]] was also released in connection with the film, including some of the 10 songs she wrote for it.
 
''Music'' was released in Australia on January 14, 2021, by [[StudioCanal]], and in select [[IMAX]] theatres in the United States for one night on February 10, 2021, followed by an on-demand release on February 12, 2021, by [[Vertical Entertainment]].

==Plot==
Kazu "Zu" Gamble ([[Kate Hudson]]) is a newly-sober [[drug dealer]] estranged from her family who is left as the sole guardian of her younger, [[Autism spectrum|autistic]] half-sister, Music ([[Maddie Ziegler]]), following the death of their grandmother, Millie ([[Mary Kay Place]]), who raised Music. Zu deals drugs with the help of her friend Rudy ([[Ben Schwartz]]), but is unable to pay him back as she is unemployed. One morning, Music has a meltdown when Zu is unable to braid her hair. Her neighbour, Ebo Odom ([[Leslie Odom Jr.]]), comes to help calm Music down, and Zu and Ebo form a friendship. Zu learns that Ebo is a boxer who teaches kids boxing, one of them being Felix (Beto Calvillo), who lives opposite Music and is often seen watching her. He dislikes boxing but is forced to do it by his father. Zu learns how to take care of Music with Ebo's help, but continues to deal drugs to financially support her dream to move to Costa Rica.
 
Ebo reveals to Zu that his ex-wife left him for his brother, and she promises to accompany him to their wedding. Rudy asks Zu to take medication for HIV to a buyer, later revealed to be Ebo. When Zu and Music go for a walk, Zu becomes distracted, and Music is stung by a bee. She suffers an allergic reaction and is hospitalised. Zu cannot pay for the treatment, and she has left her bag in the park, containing the drugs for the popstar. Distressed, Zu begins drinking and suffers a [[relapse]]. She is involved in a brawl with Ebo's neighbor ([[Henry Rollins]]), and the police are called; she reveals that she is on [[probation]]. The same night, Felix's parents get into a physical altercation which results in his father accidentally killing him when he tries to intervene.
 
After some time passing, Ebo, without Zu, attends his brother's wedding. Meanwhile, Zu brings Music to an adoption centre, but is unable to bring herself to leave her there. They decide to join Ebo at the wedding, where Zu and Ebo share a kiss on stage, and prepare to sing. Music interrupts and begins to sing herself. Later on, Music is given a new support dog, one that Felix had applied her for prior to his death.
