Do you wanna give me a Moment? (CREDIT: A24)

Starring: Charli XCX, Rosanna Arquette, Kate Berlant, Jamie Demetriou, Hailey Benton Gates, Isaac Powell, Alexander Skarsgård

Director: Aidan Zamiri

Running Time: 103 Minutes

Rating: R

Release Date: January 30, 2026 (Theaters)

Has Brat Summer transitioned into Spinal Tap Winter? You definitely get some flavors of that in the flarfluffing mockumentary The Moment, starring and based on an idea by Charli XCX. It’s occasionally as chuckle-worthy as the Stonehenge of Fly-on-the-Wall Mock Rock Docs, but overall it’s a whole lot more disaffected. Or maybe Charli is just much more tired than Derek, Nighel, and David ever have been. Either way, I did feel like I was in the moment when I was in The Moment.

Grade: 71 out of 103 Moments
