Just when you thought we’d moved on from all the raving and cigarette smoking, Charli XCX is bringing brat back. If brat summer was the moment, then The Moment is brat winter.
Yes, Charli is is releasing an A24 mockumentary about the making of the album and the tour that followed. It’s giving avant-garde, meta, never-been-done-before, and honestly, and we are here for it. The good news is, the wait is almost over.
The singer previously announced the project back in October 2025 with an Instagram post featuring the film’s title in flashing white text on a black background. (How very brat.) “Based on an original idea by Charli XCX. The moment. coming 2026,” read the caption.
Here’s everything we know so far.

What is Charli XCX’s The Moment, anyway?
Didn’t you hear? Charli XCX is in her film era now. She’s a Letterboxd girlie and, duh, of course she’s going to make a tongue-in-cheek A24 film about the viral sensation that was brat. Because let’s be honest, that is the most brat-coded response to a sell-out album.
“I’m currently feeling more inspired by film than I am by music,” the singer told NME last year. “I’m enjoying acting, I’m enjoying writing, I’m enjoying watching and I’m above all enjoying discovering a new craft. Those things feel really enriching and instinctual to me at the moment.”
