The movie, which is being distributed by A24, is situated amid the global hysteria around Charli’s 2024 album ‘Brat’ and its subsequent tour, and acts as a satirical comment on the realities of the mainstream music industry.
Directed by Aidan Zamiri, it was made by using real footage from the ‘Brat’ tour alongside fictional backstage scenes in which Charli interacts with Alexander Skarsgård, Rachel Sennott, Hailey Benton Gates, Jamie Demetriou, Kate Berlant, Rosanna Arquette and Kylie Jenner.
The first trailer arrived in November, and was followed up by a second teaser in December. The latter saw snippets of the pop star debating if the term ‘Brat Summer’ was “cringe”, and her marketing team struggling to promote her music “without offending anyone”.
It comes at a time when Charli is spending more and more time working in film, with other projects including indie drama Erupcja and the satirical thriller Sacrifice. She will also star opposite Natalie Portman in The Gallerist, and make an appearance in I Want Your Sex with Olivia Wilde.
Her next new music – following on from the ‘Brat’ album and its subsequent remix record – will be the soundtrack album for Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights.
That film arrives in cinemas from February 11 and stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. Songs that have been shared so far from the album include ‘Chains Of Love’ and the John Cale-starring ‘House’.
When is The Moment coming out in the UK?
The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23 and received a limited release in the United States on January 30.
In Charli’s home country, it will be in cinemas from Friday, February 20.
At the time of writing, it has a 61 per cent rating on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with a critics’ consensus reading: “Satirizing Brat Summer and the pitfalls of pop stardom, The Moment is a mockumentary that could’ve used sharper barbs, but Charli XCX acquits herself well as a presence that can bind even an unwieldy movie together”.
