‘The Moment’ by Aidan Zamiri and Charli xcx
The Moment is a mockumentary that follows Charli xcx as the singer gets ready for her debut arena tour. The satire flick features Charli along with actors Alexander Skarsgård, Rachel Sennott and a cameo from Kylie Jenner.
Directed by Aidan Zamiri and produced by Charli in collaboration with David Hinojosa, The Moment is a unique romp through the singer’s Brat brainchild. The film is set to release Jan. 30, according to A24. Alexander Skarsgård plays a high-profile director hired to film Charli’s show, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. The movie also stars Rachel Sennott and features a cameo from Kylie Jenner.
In short, the film aims at taking a closer look at the cultural phenom that was Brat, Charli’s 2024 album. On the Billboard charts, collaborative tracks off the album such as “Guess” featuring Billie Eilish and “Sympathy Is a Knife” with Ariana Grande made the top 50, landing at 12 and 36, respectively.
The Brat takeover was an interesting one, given Charli had been making music for more than 15 years with plenty of hits under her belt, from “Boom Clap” to her feature work on hits such as Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” to “I Love It” by Icona Pop. Her rise poses an interesting question about fame and when artists really “make” it, a notion that is heavily explored in memes such as the infamous “Khia asylum,” of which Charli was a former member. The same can be said for artists including Zara Larsson, who is currently having a moment thanks to her track “Midnight Sun,” although she’s been pumping out hits since 2015.
