Is Charli XCX’s ‘The Moment’ a Mockumentary or What?

  • On Thursday, A24 released the official trailer for The Moment, starring Charli XCX in a self-aware, meta role ahead of its January 30, 2026 theatrical release.
  • Based on an original idea from Charli XCX, The Moment follows a rising pop star prepping for an arena tour and is produced under Studio365 with David Hinojosa this year.
  • A staged Colbert‑style interview appears in the teaser, intercut with rehearsal footage, while at the 0:58 mark, it satirizes celebrity credit‑card deals and features a fictional bank, Howard Stirling, alongside a mannequin shattering scene.
  • Her expanding onscreen résumé and a new single arrive alongside the film's trailer, as Charli XCX, pop star and emerging filmmaker, continues her sharp pivot into filmmaking.
  • Directed by Aidan Zamiri from a script he co‑wrote with Bertie Brandes, the film marks his feature debut and features Kylie Jenner, Alexander Skarsgård, and Rachel Sennott in its ensemble.
