Chey Smith

Note: If you want to learn about the Autistic community do not watch this movie! I decided to watch this because it was available with a subscription as I didn't want to pay much when I knew going in there were many issues with this movie. It had some nice moments in terms of color and the character of Zu the older sister was good but not enough to forget how much this misrepresents an important community that is already stigmatized. If you thought this movie was amazing and awe inspiring then you have not tried to understand the Autistic community through the people actually a part of it. The caregivers and parents of Autistic people are the ones who will like this more because it shows the hardships of caring for an Autistic child but that doesn't make this an accurate representation of Autism. It was offensive in its portrayal of an Autistic person and at times downright dangerous with the way Music had been handled by Ebo and Zu in the tougher moments.
