Charli XCX's The Moment: Find out more about the film
It's in UK cinemas on 20th February
Last updated 30th Jan 2026
'brat' singer Charli XCX is set to appear in a brand new movie, the first from her new production company Studio365. The singer who had several hits in 2024, including her viral 'Apple', and iconic album 'brat', will appear in this mockumentary called The Moment, along with Kylie Jenner, Isaac Powell and many more well-known faces.
The film is based on an original idea by the singer, directed by filmmaker Aidan Zamiri, and the project promises a stylised, self-aware look at pop stardom, as it blends backstage chaos, satire and performance with viewers following a fictionalised version of Charli’s career.
Following its premiere at Sundance Film Festival in January, the film has now become A24's fastest-selling limited release, selling out 50 screens in key markets. It will be available to watch in the UK in February.
How was it announced?
The news was first revealed by Variety back in January 2025, that Charli would join forces with A24, an American entertainment company, to produce and star in the new film. At the time, the plot of the movie had not been announced, however it was known that it would feature songs composed by A. G. Cook, who worked on 'brat'.
Before this news was revealed, back in December 2024, Charli appeared to allude to branching out into acting as she told Variety: "I hate it when musicians dive into a different field, head-first, without really researching or learning much of anything about it. So I did a lot of reading to educate myself over the past three or four years before I actually did anything."
What is Charli XCX's film called?
Charli XCX's film is called The Moment. The mockumentary-style follows a fictionalised version of the singer preparing for her headline tour.
Is there a trailer?
Yes, there are actually two trailers. The first trailer was shared in November 2025, along with the release date of the film. In the trailer fans get to see clips of Charli during the height of the 'brat summer'.
WARNING: THIS CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE
A second, longer trailer was released on 17th December 2025, in this trailer you get to see more of the chaos backstage at the tour, as well as showing the brat credit card, photos of which have been popping with the names of people involved with the film. You can watch the trailer below.
