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

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.

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.

Instead of embracing the whole brat, The Moment pulls its punches.

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.

While the film centers on Charli herself, the story reaches beyond her, using humor and sharp self awareness to explore the rush, pressure, and identity spiral that can come with success moving faster than you can process it.

3/5

The balancing act between artistic confession and apparent cynicism never quite flows, making it nothing more than a curiosity surrounding the star who now dominates the conversation. [Full review in Spanish]
