Biography:
Liam Pane is a fictional character from the 2021 musical drama film, Music, directed by Sia. He is portrayed by actor Gaetano Arangio.
In the film, Liam is a nonverbal autistic teenager who is primarily cared for by his grandmother, Millicent "Millie" Halston-Hayes. After Millie unexpectedly dies, Liam becomes the ward of his half-sister, Zu, who is ill-equipped and initially reluctant to assume the responsibility.
Liam's characterization and the portrayal of his autism have been the subject of considerable controversy. Critics and disability advocates have voiced concerns over the film's inaccurate and stereotypical depiction of autism, leading to widespread criticism of both Sia and Arangio's performance.
The role of Liam is central to the film's narrative, as Zu grapples with learning how to care for him and navigating the challenges of his complex needs, whilst battling her own issues with addiction. His character, though intended to showcase the challenges and rewards of caregiving, ultimately became a lightning rod for discussions around disability representation in media.
