Charli XCX unveils trailer highlights for 'The Moment' mockumentary

Following the announcement of her A24 mockumentary 'The Moment,' Charli XCX has shared a new trailer on December 11, 2025, questioning if 'Brat Summer' has gone 'cringe' amid fame's pressures. Directed by Aidan Zamiri, the film stars Alexander Skarsgård, Rachel Sennott, and features Kylie Jenner, premiering at Sundance 2026 before theaters on January 30.

New Trailer Breakdown

The trailer, released December 11, 2025, immerses viewers in pop stardom's chaos, inspired by Charli's 'Brat' era. It starts with Charli asking, 'Hi, it’s Charli XCX, are you having a Brat Summer?' then confiding to a colleague: 'Don’t you think the whole ‘Keep having a Brat Summer’ thing is a little bit cringe?' Blending real 'Brat' tour footage (performances, chat shows) with fictional backstage drama, it shows her team debating momentum.

Charli vents frustrations in a car: 'Everybody is so desperate for me to be fucking innovative all the time and fucking cool... Well I don’t fucking know what I fucking want.' Kylie Jenner consoles her, urging to 'go even harder' when fans tire. Alexander Skarsgård, as a concert film director, warns against offending audiences and probes her cocaine lyrics ('literally or metaphorically?'). Rachel Sennott plays a skeptical friend, Jamie Demetriou a flustered manager, amplifying the satire on fame.

Quick Film Context

Building on the previously detailed mockumentary (not a straight tour doc), it weaves authentic 'Brat' elements—like lime green aesthetics, remixes, and Glastonbury—with invented scenarios. Additional cast includes Rosanna Arquette, Hailey Benton Gates, Kate Berlant, and Isaac Powell. Sundance premiere: January 22-February 1, 2026; theaters: January 30 via A24. Charli has more 2026 projects ahead.

High anticipation for Sundance premiere and cast including Kylie Jenner noted positively.
