Charli XCX's The Moment has arrived in UK cinemas
It's finally here!
'brat' singer Charli XCX is stepping into the spotlight as a movie star. In the first project from her new production company, Studio365, she stars in the mockumentary The Moment alongside Kylie Jenner, Isaac Powell, and a host of other familiar faces.
The film is based on an original idea by the singer, directed by filmmaker Aidan Zamiri, and the project promises a stylised, self-aware look at pop stardom, as it blends backstage chaos, satire and performance with viewers following a fictionalised version of Charli’s career.
Following its premiere at Sundance Film Festival in January, the film has now become A24's fastest-selling limited release, selling out 50 screens in key markets, and now it's available to watch in the UK.
When is it out?
Before the film's release, Charli confirmed the date of 30th January 2026. The date was confirmed on Instagram, with a post captioned: 'The moment. a film by aidan zamiri, based on an original idea by charli xcx. in theaters january 30th. make it last forever'. (sic)
However, the film didn't land in UK cinemas until Friday 20th February 2026.
How was it announced?
The news was first revealed by Variety back in January 2025, that Charli would join forces with A24, an American entertainment company, to produce and star in the new film. At the time, the plot of the movie had not been announced, however it was known that it would feature songs composed by A. G. Cook, who worked on 'brat'.
Before this news was revealed, back in December 2024, Charli appeared to allude to branching out into acting as she told Variety: "I hate it when musicians dive into a different field, head-first, without really researching or learning much of anything about it. So I did a lot of reading to educate myself over the past three or four years before I actually did anything."
What is Charli XCX's film called?
Charli XCX's film is called The Moment. The mockumentary-style follows a fictionalised version of the singer preparing for her headline tour.
