2026 is poised to be a huge year for pop superstar Charli XCX. With three movies set to premiere at Sundance next month, the one that’s currently drawing the most attention is The Moment. A mockumentary, the film takes a comical tour through the singer’s incredibly popular Brat Summer, which sparked a cultural phenomenon in the summer of 2024.
Based on the newly released trailer, Charli xcx is just having a lot of fun goofing off with her friends, including Rachel Sennott, Rosanna Arquette, Kate Berlant, Jamie Demetriou, Kylie Jenner, Hailey Benton Gates, Isaac Powell, and Alexander Skarsgård. But it’s also a look at what happens when a celebrity takes charge of an entire summer and perhaps bites off more than they can chew.
The Moment is directed and co-written by Aidan Zamiri, who has been at the helm of videos for Charli xcx, Billie Eilish, and more.
If you guessed that this was an A24 movie, you’re right! It’s just so them. The Moment hits theaters on January 30th 2024, after it premieres in Park City. Hopefully, I’ll get a chance to catch it there and report back to you.
