Charli XCX unveils trailer highlights for 'The Moment' mockumentary

2025년 12월 11일

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.

사람들이 말하는 것

Reactions on X to Charli XCX's 'The Moment' trailer mix excitement for its satirical mockumentary style skewering 'Brat Summer' fame with analytical takes on its fictional reimagining. Fans highlight meta elements like PR 'social experiments' and appreciate Charli embracing cringe, while some express skepticism over prolonging the Brat era or finding the exaggeration unbearable. High anticipation for Sundance premiere and cast including Kylie Jenner noted positively.

Charli playing into the commercialization and irritability of brat by way of narration through a campy satirical mockumentary film à la spice world is so everything popcorn! Everybody's so desperate for her to be innovative all the time and fcking cool but she's in on the cringe!

i can’t reply so i’m quoting but it’s because this movie is based on things that DIDNT happen, it’s basically “what would brat have been if the label/other ppl were in control” vs the reality where charli was in control

its a reimagining of brat, a doc would be way different https://t.co/KLAgFSMSo1

it’s always been cringe, her whole “i don’t want it to end” festival outro was a teaser for this movie. This is brats final flight. She spent a lot of time looking at how people reactions to something “cool” changed over time and then honed in on that aspect and idea for this.
