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.

3/5

The best lines are swamped by background noise and overlapping dialogue and the action has a zigzagging trajectory without rhythm or variations in mood.

2.5/5

Instead of embracing the whole brat, The Moment pulls its punches.

3/5

The film’s sardonic edge is dulled by a reliance on stereotypical depictions of philistine self-interest. Who would dream that music-industry hangers-on would be up-speaking solipsists? Well, almost everybody.

Movie Recs by Lex

Jul 9, 2026

A clever experiment that reflects Charli’s world and makes a statement about the constant pressure on popstars to monetize their personas and maintain a manufactured sense of authenticity, but it feels far too tame to make a lasting impact.

While the film centers on Charli herself, the story reaches beyond her, using humor and sharp self awareness to explore the rush, pressure, and identity spiral that can come with success moving faster than you can process it.

3/5

The balancing act between artistic confession and apparent cynicism never quite flows, making it nothing more than a curiosity surrounding the star who now dominates the conversation. [Full review in Spanish]
