The wait is over—the first trailer for Charli XCX’s upcoming film, The Moment, is here.

Produced by A24 and created by Charli herself, the movie is directed by Aidan Zamiri and written by Zamiri and Bertie Brandes. Charli describes it as “a 2024 period piece” that brings the “Brat Summer” phenomenon to life. In an interview with Vanity Fair, she shared that she plays “a kind of twisted version of myself.” She added, “It’s fictional, but it’s the most honest portrayal of the music industry I’ve ever seen.”

While many details about The Moment remain under wraps—aside from its star-studded cast including Rosanna Arquette, Hailey Benton Gates, Kate Berlant, Jamie Demetriou, Kylie Jenner, Isaac Powell, Rachel Sennott, and Alexander Skarsgård—the trailer offers a glimpse of what’s to come.

1. I can spot a Conner Ives “Protect the Dolls” T-shirt anywhere, even with the letters flipped. Just had to brag! —Hannah Jackson
2. Love it! And is Charli wearing no makeup here? She looks incredible. —Emma Specter
3. Forgive the early self-promotion, but we did feature that “Protect the Dolls” tee in our 2025 IYKYK gift guide. —H.J.
4. Go ahead and promote, babe. —E.S.
5. Rachel Sennott! When will we see her guest on Charli XCX’s “I Love LA”? —H.J.
6. Rachel’s bob is really bouncing! —E.S.
7. Can we get a strobe warning for those of us prone to dizziness? I’m starting to feel, as Lucille Austero from Arrested Development would say, “a touch of the dizzies.” —H.J.
8. “How does it feel to have claimed a whole summer?” First it was Barbie, then Charli—maybe next summer it’ll be me? Anything’s possible! —E.S.
9. I looked it up, and it seems Stephen Colbert staged a fake show just to interview Charli’s character. So glad he’s on board with the vision. —H.J.
10. Thanks for checking, Hannah! I was wondering the same thing. —E.S.
11. As someone who can’t hide their feelings, I’ve wondered what I’d do if I were famous and a fan gave me an ugly portrait. Unlikely, but you never know! —H.J.
12. We should all wear sequins and dance around more often. Society needs it. —E.S.
13. Is there anything more glamorous than riding around in a golf cart? Research says no. —H.J.
14. Is it too late for me to get a “365 partygirl” T-shirt? Has everyone moved on? I cried when Lorde brought Charli out at her Kia Forum show last month, so I’m clearly not over it. —E.S.
15. In a quick clip at 0:58, Charli seems to poke fun at celebrity credit card deals. She invented a fake bank, Howard Stirling, so no real banks were offended. Phew! —H.J.
16. If I were famous, I’d probably do any credit card ad for even a modest amount of money… —E.S.
17. Kylie Jenner????? —H.J.
18. Same question. —E.S.
19. Charli, please, enough with the strobe effect—I’m begging you! —H.J.
20. I get that it fits the club-kid vibe, but honestly, I’m not a fan either. —E.S.
21. The cast is stacked, with Kate Berlant and Alexander Skarsgård, but Jamie Demetriou really stood out to me—Fleabag fans know him as “Bus Rodent.” —H.J.
22. Oh, wow, I didn’t notice that. —E.S.
23. In theaters January 30th! Love to see a theatrical release! —H.J.
24. Hannah, will you fly home and watch it with me in L.A.? —E.S.
