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.

1.5/4

Here’s a movie that’s willing to call fans suckers to their faces by denying them the one thing they wanted most -- to hear their favorite singer sing.

2/5

Making a movie about how annoyed you were that your label tried to force you to make a concert movie is just 103 minutes of Charli xcx relitigating an argument she already won, just with added product placement.

1.5/4

The movie, directed by music-video filmmaker Aidan Zamiri, is a hodgepodge of tones and genres that doesn't hold together at all.

"The Moment" is an interesting experiment more than a satisfying movie and features surprisingly little music.

2.5/5

When the film is about artistic pressures, The Moment works, so it’s a shame that little else does, and no one who knew anything about the musician coming in will come away with anything more insightful, personally or professionally

4/5

A surprisingly clever, occasionally confronting, unusual slice of media satire. The Moment is worth a look regardless of whether you celebrated Brat summer or can't tell Charli XCX from Olivia Rodrigo

it’s a new form of the art of emotions within this mockumentary. It’s definitely a weird feeling when her tour turned out so different than the movie. It’s weird seeing it after seeing her twice on tour already. But overall it’s genuinely great.

I appreciated where it was trying to go. It just didn’t get there for me. Probably more enjoyable for younger than 60 audiences lol.
