Charli XCX Reveals Teaser for New Comedy Movie 'The Moment'
For months, details about Charli XCX's upcoming feature film, The Moment, were sparse. Now, the pop star and A24 have dropped a teaser for the flick...and just like the iconic album cover for Brat, this movie isn't taking itself too seriously.
In the trailer, we get a preview of the pop star’s rise during her Brat era, but told through a mockumentary, self-parody style. We see Charli rehearsing a punch-like dance move in a mirror, the physically painful effect of that bright-neon green and strobe lights during her shows, and a mannequin shattering on the floor during a concert rehearsal bit she’s meant to replicate.

Pitchfork reports that Charli XCX made a statement about the film's premise. “It’s not a tour documentary or a concert film in any way, but the seed of the idea was conceived from this idea of being pressured to make one," she clarified. "It’s fiction, but it’s the realest depiction of the music industry that I’ve ever seen.”
The Moment is helmed by Aidan Zamiri - marking the music photographer’s directorial debut - and features a number of other celebrities and actors, including Alexander Skarsgård, Kylie Jenner, Rachel Sennott, Rosanna Arquette, Kate Berlant, Hailey Benton Gates, and Jamie Demetriou. Zamiri co-wrote the film with Bertie Brandes. The film will hit theaters everywhere on Friday, January 30, 2026.
The Moment comes while Charli is all-in on her movie and film acting era. Most recently, she announced her Wuthering Heights album that accompanies Emerald Fennell’s upcoming film of the same name and features her John Cale collaboration “House.” As an actress, she's recently appeared in the film 100 Nights of Hero, the sapphic flick Erupcja, the TV show Overcompensating, and as a host for SNL.
The pop star has numerous film projects that are still in-the-works, too, including A24’s Mother Mary, Gregg Araki’s drama I Want Your Sex, the horror remake Faces of Death, a Romain Gavras film called Sacrifice, a collaboration with Takashi Miike, and more.
