Moviegoers are saying
This polarizing Charli-led film has viewers split between calling it 'highbrow satire' and questioning whether they stumbled into the wrong movie theater. With audiences comparing the experience to everything from Taylor Swift concerts to epileptic seizures, it's clear this isn't your typical crowd-pleaser.

This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen in the cinemas, not even exaggerating, she seems so miserable and annoying to work for/with. People were walking out of the auditorium (INCLUDING ME). Don’t waste your time and money tbh.
chloe likedThe Momentgot annoyed with charli for not making clear decisions and telling people what she actually wants and then realized that I am the exact same way especially in my particular situation rn.

Wasn’t 100% sure what this was actually going to be going in - and to be honest, I still don’t really. The easiest label for it is a satirical mockumentary, but it’s far more unique than that. I don’t think anything quite like this has been done before. It’s a fascinating reality check on what the…
Tegan Clark likedThe Momentloved this pretty decent throughout the ending really made it her voicemail to celeste really hit ughhhh i felt that and bittersweet symphony 😏 kinda emotional and beautiful film absolutely love the deeper meaning to it👌 perfectly comedic too lowkey missed kylie jenner’s scene😢
Jimmy Cricket lovedThe MomentA funny, deeply moving satire about the tension between art/commerce and the complexities of being an artist; has an awesome documentary look to it and really sells it, the only thing brining you out of is the movie stars. Charli gives a raw and vulnerable performance as herself.
- George likedThe Moment
8 - I almost wanted it to be longer, some really funny moments in this and just such a genuinely British movie. I feel proud of it for some reason hahaha. The commentary on the insane amount of creatives adding no value to the vision but always being present is so true loool
Lee likedThe MomentSafdie bro anxiety inducing energy and adrenaline, with Charli absolutely killing it playing herself. An excellent portrayal of the cost of fame, and how once released the artist’s art no longer belongs to them. DO NOT watch if you have any level of epilepsy.
Cinematic Joshua is "meh" onThe MomentA Mockumentary that doesn’t push its satire enough or give us insight into how its PopStar creates or even thinks. It does capture the anxiety, compromises, and pressures that fame can bring through its frenetic editing and muddled storytelling.

This was an absolutely amazing film. Highbrow satire in a way that had never been done before. Charli really knocked this one out of the park.

It’s honest about the deception that is inherent to celebrity, confronting us with one compromise after another, building to a pitch-perfect finale needle-drop over a captivating monologue that elevates the comedy into a work of grand, messy ambition.

For Charli’s most devoted fans, The Moment offers worthwhile glimpses into her creative process and the pressures she navigates, but as either comedy or commentary, it never quite breaks free from the very commercial constraints it sets out to expose.

Charli’s version of herself, though, is a fascinating creation — self-deprecating, yes, and laughing at herself, but with the clinical distance of a telescope lasered onto a forming star. See this movie with a crowd of Charli’s friends and collaborators, and you’ll too be in on the joke.
