The Moment

Brat summer may be over - but The Moment of Charli xcx has only just begun. Get access all areas to the kaleidoscopic life of a pop superstar in Aidan Zamiri's dizzyingly energised mockumentary portrait.

The Moment follows the life of Charli, a pop star in the lead-up to her first headline arena tour, granting an inside look at the inner workings of the industry – and exploring how subculture is mutated by commercial success.

A whip-smart, gleefully self-aware portrait of a modern music icon from rising filmmaker Aidan Zamini, co-starring Alexander Skarsgård (Pillion), Rachel Sennott (Bottoms) and Jamie Demetriou (Fleabag), The Moment wraps up the brat era in fearlessly cinematic style.

A rising pop star navigates the complexities of fame and industry pressure while preparing for her arena tour debut.

A flashy, tongue-in-cheek hyper-pop mockumentary, The Moment is Charli xcx’s creative reflection on her own meteoric success with brat. Directed and co-written by “360” music video director Aidan Zamiri in his feature debut, the film has a stylishly effortless rhythm and a uniquely self-aware, ironic sense of humor. Charli xcx plays an exaggeratedly manic version of herself, surrounded by a cast of characters that mirror both the friends and foes of the era. Hailey Gates and Alexander Skarsgård personify near-diametrically opposed influences in Charli xcx’s dynamic career; pieces in the grand scheme of brat’s enduring cultural power.

Behind the satire and Charli xcx’s celebrity is an earnest and heartfelt expression of the weight of success, the price of legacy, and the fight to preserve artistic integrity. The Moment is a film for fans and newcomers alike — a lively, current, dazzling capsule of one of the most iconic artists of our time
