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.

Steeped in lime green, strobe lights and flashing images, The Moment is a loud, chaotic and occasionally emotional film that puts the life of a popstar front and centre – it’s an extremely engaging viewing that provides something wholly unique.
