Overview
- The film makes its international debut in Berlin after a Sundance world premiere, screening in the festival’s Panorama section to a fan-filled premiere event.
- Charli XCX told reporters the storylines are fictionalized yet drawn from experience, described making the film as cathartic, and said the Brat phase is finished for her.
- She praised the Berlinale’s embrace of politically engaged cinema, a stance highlighted by controversy this week following Wim Wenders’ remarks and subsequent withdrawals and a canceled appearance by Arundhati Roy.
- A24 says The Moment is its fastest‑selling limited release, expanding from a U.S. rollout to a European opening next week following the Berlin bow, with ticket buyers skewing under 35.
- The mockumentary explores art‑versus‑commerce through a heightened version of Charli, features Alexander Skarsgård as a director and cameos from Kylie Jenner and Rachel Sennott, and was produced by Charli’s Studio365 with David Hinojosa.
