Picture it. It’s summer of 2024. The sticky heat is oppressive and you’ve just woken up from an all-night bender with last night’s mascara on, smudged so thoroughly you’re liable to be mistaken for a raccoon, much less a party rat. Despite your hangover and a migraine surely throbbing in the back of your skull, you’re blasting Brat, a June 2024 release with a slime green cover from British pop sensation Charli XCX. All is right in the world.
If you’re looking to relieve “Brat” summer, or at least curious about the making of the music phenom and the subsequent arena tour that followed the album’s release, you’ll want to check out The Moment. The mockumentary gives fans of the “360” singer a look into how the proverbial sausage is made, bearing witness to behind-the-scenes footage of Charli as she grapples with the complexities of fame and industry pressure, while preparing her Brat tour. Tickets for the one hour 43 minute film produced by A24 are available for purchase now via Fandango.

The Moment is a mockumentary style movie that follows Charli as she preps for her Brat arena tour debut. The film’s runtime is 1h 43m.
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. The film features cameos from big names like Kylie Jenner, Mel Ottenberg, Rachel Sennott, Alexander Skarsgård and Rosanna Arquette, among others. Skarsgård plays a high-profile director hired to film Charli’s show, blurring the lines between reality and fiction.
In terms of marketing, Brat was a major success, ingrained in the zeitgeist soon after its release, so much so that the summer it was unofficially named after the album. On the Billboard charts, collaborative tracks off the album like “Guess” featuring Billie Eilish and “Sympathy Is A Knife” with Ariana Grande made the top 50, landing at 12 and 36, respectively. According to Luminate, Charli’s catalog has racked up around 2 billion on-demand streams globally.
The Brat tour, which was Charli’s fourth solo concert tour, was also a major hit with fans and converts. With an average ticket price of around $90, Billboard estimates the tour has grossed roughly $23.5 million. It is important to note the impact that this has had on Charli’s career and fame, something that she touches on heavily in her new film. According to data from Luminate, her average weekly U.S. On-Demand Audio streams more than doubled, from 7.7 million in Sept. 2023 to 20.9 million in Sept. 2025.
