Charli XCX's The Moment Trailer Shows Rachel Sennott & Kylie Jenner
Not the "Boom Clap" scene!
Charli XCX is relocating from the club to the cinema. And one of the most exciting projects in her pivot to filmmaking is A24’s The Moment, a drama sprung from her own original idea, which looks like it will be pretty personal to her pop star rise. Oh, and she has the most enviable crew joining her for the flick. The full cast list is filled with buzzy names, from Kylie Jenner to Alexander Skarsgård.
The Moment was first announced in the beginning of 2025, but was largely shrouded in mystery aside from Charli’s involvement. The singer opened up about the movie’s vibe and story a few months later, telling Vulture that it will be a mockumentary that follows a pop star as she is preparing to launch her first major tour. Obviously, the plot sounds very close to Charli’s real life, suggesting she will likely draw from her own tour experiences for the role.
While Charli is also signed on to act in an array of other high-anticipated movies throughout 2025 and 2026 — including Erupcja, 100 Nights of Hero, The Gallerist, Faces of Death, and I Want Your Sex — The Moment stands out as the film Charli seems to be most creatively involved in, and the most personal project of her movie roles.
Here’s everything to know about The Moment so far.
The Cast Truly Is The Moment
The full cast was unveiled on Oct. 9. Joining Charli in her moment will be: Kylie Jenner, Alexander Skarsgård, Rachel Sennott, Rosanna Arquette, Kate Berlant, Rish Shah, Jamie Demetriou, Arielle Dombasle, Hailey Benton Gates, Trew Mullen, Mel Ottenberg, Richard Perez, Isaac Powell, Tish Weinstock, Michael Workéyè, Shygirl, and A. G. Cook.
The Trailer Is So Brat
Charli finally lifted the lid on The Moment by releasing its first trailer on Nov. 20. The first look confirms that the fan response and tour for Charli’s 2024 album Brat is at the center of the film, with actual footage of Charli’s interviews and performances from the Brat era interspersed in the clip. Throughout the trailer, there are glimpses of Sennott as Charli’s friend, Jenner as herself, and Skarsgård as her tour director. It’s hinted throughout that Charli is fearing for her life due to the pressures of Brat’s rollout, saying “I might” die to an album cycle and watching a mannequin of herself smash onto the stage.
To drive home how true-to-life the project is, the trailer ends with Charli’s driver watching her 2014 “Boom Clap” video and commenting on how different she looks.
The Moment Is Coming
The movie will arrive in theaters on Jan. 30, 2026.
