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.

4/5

A wry, sharp and never self-serious take on pop stardom.

Yes, Charli is playing a version of herself, but she does it well.

Charli XCX's strenuous attempts to cheekily bury both herself and her Vroom Vrooming pop-tart anxieties six-feet metaphorically under add up to little more than Doomscroll Spinal Tap.

Everyone here is giving it their all, but Skarsgård is letting it all hang out and loving it.

It’s both self-deprecating and self-indulgent, without enough laughs to satisfy anyone but the most ardent fans.

What I found profound in the film is how they showed patriarchal forces attacking Charlie at all sides through the music business and heightening her stress about this wave of success.

I really like Charli. She is extremely likable, but I had difficulty immersing myself in the film in general. It has funny moments, and the music makes a great, but I think I could have waited to watch this on a streaming platform instead.
