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.

Through celebrity cameos, a succinct yet riveting story, earnest emotion, and biting humor, Charli XCX's mockumentary captures something real about the battle of art versus commerce.

It all contributes to the impression that Charli herself may be growing sick of her brat era, which she ultimately bids goodbye with considerable cheek.

The Charli XCX mockumentary "The Moment" is a satire that feels like a snuff film.

From brat to Emily Brontë, Charli XCX is never a bore, which is why she can do much better than this curiously intriguing but ultimately languishing experiment.

3.5/4

Not since The Beatles in "A Hard Day’s Night" has a real pop star satirized themselves as thoroughly and as smartly as Charli XCX does in "The Moment."

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.

Should have been more absurd comedy like Never Stop Never Stopping or Cora's. It had some great mockumentary and meta moments, but kept grounded.
