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.

Winks at the slight but important difference between artistry and stardom. In “The Moment,” Charli isn’t ripping her contemporaries. Rather, she’s acknowledging that many musicians entertain without actually saying anything interesting.

So going into the film, I didn't really know what to expect, but I was along for the ride. I found it quite a different approach to the mockumentary style. It's funny but not, you know, laugh out loud.

Your mileage may vary, but I'd argue The Moment works on multiple levels.

What we see was fabricated, but all of it is plausible. The mockumentary is very funny and also honest. Charli XCX has a great sense of humor. By poking fun at herself, she just extended the life of the Brat lifestyle. You got us.

It's definitely funny by the end, but as for being innovative or perceptive, the movie falls quite short.

The Moment feels like that spirit captured on screen. It’s messy, stylish, funny, a little uncomfortable, and very self-aware. It doesn’t feel like a typical pop star movie, and I’m grateful for that.

Nothing happens during the entirety of thr movie. I think this is a perfect film to have in the background while you are focused on other screens.

I dont want this review to be cringe but The moment really captured the emotion behind Brat and you really felt the emotions the entire movie. The bold flashy transitions between scenes were perfect! I just want this moment to last forever.
