What to Know

Critics Consensus

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.

Sandra Hall The Age (Australia) Mar 10
3/5
The best lines are swamped by background noise and overlapping dialogue and the action has a zigzagging trajectory without rhythm or variations in mood. Go to Full Review
Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Mar 5
2.5/5
Instead of embracing the whole brat, The Moment pulls its punches. Go to Full Review
Donald Clarke Irish Times Feb 25
3/5
The film’s sardonic edge is dulled by a reliance on stereotypical depictions of philistine self-interest. Who would dream that music-industry hangers-on would be up-speaking solipsists? Well, almost everybody. Go to Full Review
David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment 1d
4.5/5
A brilliant mockumentary that really takes on a darker tone when you realise how many artists have had to live through experiences like this throughout their careers. This is a haunting brilliance to The Moment. Go to Full Review
Simon Foster Screen-Space (Substack) 6d
3.5/5
Charli, in a winning star-turn as a version of herself, fearlessly parodies her own image and integrity as savagely as she does everything else that continues to linger from the Bratosphere. Go to Full Review
Rene Sanchez Cine Sin Fronteras Mar 12
2.5/4
A mockumentary that ingeniously satirizes the current pop industry and serves as a fitting coda to Charli XCX's brat era. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
