Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture 1d
The point of a behind-the-scenes rock doc is that we’re getting something that feels like a true portrait of the artist. The Moment thinks it can have the best of both worlds, but it gives us neither. Go to Full Review Taylor Williams Slant Magazine 1d
2/4
Farce and sincerity make more odd bedfellows across Aidan Zamiri’s meta mockumentary about Brat Summer. Go to Full Review Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com 2d
2.5/4
'The Moment' is something different, a big swing into the mockumentary genre satirizing the pressures of pop stardom and the struggle for creative control. Go to Full Review Joseph Robinson Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) 8h
3/5
Charli XCX shines in this gritty, darkly humorous look at artistic integrity versus corporate pressure—though The Moment loses some momentum when it matters most. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) 15h
3/5
The warping realities of celebrity are satirized in this waggish but often thoughtful mockumentary which finds Charli xcx processing the demands of commerce eclipsing creation, as if it's 'Portrait of the Artist as a Young Machine.' Go to Full Review Gregory Nussen Screen Rant 17h
3/10
There is a certain hubris to making a film that is absolutely devoid of stakes, but it's hard to describe that gall as anything but absurdly arrogant, or else woefully out of touch. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
