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.

The Age (Australia)

2d

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.

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]

6/10

The Moment captures the chaos of Charli XCX’s pop stardom with style and self-awareness, but its mockumentary satire never fully lands. Visually slick and occasionally funny, yet strangely shallow for a film about the cost of fame.

The Moment has me teetering between fascination and ambivalence – but ever so slightly more toward the former than the latter.
