After Charli XCX went from underrated to full-blown pop star with her album brat, the British icon looks to be aiming to become a Hollywood starlet with all the 2026 movies<\/a> she has lined up. The first of them is her mockumentary The Moment, where she plays a fictionalized version of herself gearing up for the biggest tour of her career. I\u2019m getting so intrigued about the new release, especially after Charli\u2019s reaction to Letterboxd reviews.<\/p>\n Charli XCX is a huge movie fan, and a frequent user of Letterboxd, since anyone can follow her @itscharlibb<\/a>. When she was asked by The LA Times<\/a> if she\u2019s given a look at what people are saying about The Moment on the app, here\u2019s how she replied:<\/p>\n Yes, I have. \u2018Brat Swan\u2019 we love. There was someone sat next to somebody who reeked of cigarettes and had a really immersive experience, which I love. There\u2019s some really good, like, jokey [reactions]… They\u2019re getting it.<\/p>\n The Moment premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this week to mixed thoughts from critics<\/a>, with one applauding Charli XCX for showing \u201cshe has the chops\u201d to lead a movie, and another reviewer calling it \u201cnot a fully formed movie.\u201d The film definitely sounds primarily geared towards fans of the singer, and on that front, evidently the singer was pleased with what she saw on Letterboxd<\/a>. Here are some other reactions she didn\u2019t mention:<\/p>\n \u201cthe way this is edited would send a victorian child straight into a coma\u201d @justinwuah<\/p>\n \u201cFirst five minutes could kill a grandpa\u201d – @zanelik <\/p>\n \u201cThe life of a blowgirl\u201d – @emilyrugburn <\/p>\n \u201clike imagine spice world if nathan fielder wrote and directed it. like WOAH!\u201d – @funhotsexygirl <\/p>\n \u201cthis is spinal brat\u201d – @nathalie<\/p>\n OK, the Nathan Fielder comment really sold me. So far, the movie has a 3.5 rating out of 5 on the platform and a 61% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>. It just arrived in limited theaters (and will open in even more theaters on February 6). Now I\u2019m more curious about the movie than ever.<\/p>\n Charli XCX has been seen promoting the movie by wearing a matching black bikini with Kylie Jenner<\/a> and taking photos of herself eating popcorn at the theaters to remind her fans to show out. Take a look below:<\/p>\n In addition to Charli starring in The Moment, the singer just premiered two other movies at the Sundance Film Festival in the same week. First, she\u2019s in I Want Your Sex starring Olivia Wilde, Cooper Hoffman, Mason Gooding, Chase Sui Wonders, Daveed Diggs, Johnny Knoxville and Margaret Cho. It\u2019s about a young man who becomes the hired sexual muse of an artist. The sexually explicit movie is getting a lot of good reviews from early viewers.<\/p>\n She\u2019s also in a movie with Natalie Portman and Jenna Ortega<\/a> called The Gallerist, which is a dark comedy and thriller apparently about an artist who tries to pass off a dead body as a piece of art. That one is getting more mixed to negative reviews. Things don\u2019t stop there for Charli XCX, who is living her horror dreams<\/a> by starring in a movie called Faces of Death and an untitled movie with Audition filmmaker Takashi Miike<\/a>.<\/p>\n Until then, I can\u2019t wait to see the movie people are calling Brat Swan and This Is Spinal Brat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
