Charli xcx Steps Out of Brat Summer into a New Acting Persona at Sundance

Charli xcx headlines Sundance with three film appearances, led by The Moment, a mockumentary about the end of “Brat Summer” that doubles as a meta riff on her branding and fame. The other roles in I Want Your Sex and The Gallerist lean into satire and Charli’s late-night persona rather than dramatic range. The Moment uses self-awareness as both critique and celebration, suggesting Brat Summer is winding down while Charli eyes a reinvention.
