Charli xcx plays herself in “The Moment,” a meta mockumentary about the challenges of fame. She tells The Associated Press she wanted to explore expectations. The film debuted at the Sundance Film Festival before it opens in theaters on Jan. 30. Charli, a pop star since 16, hit a peak with her sixth album, “Brat,” in 2024. But with success came pressure and expectations she struggled to meet. She collaborated with director Aidan Zamiri to create a film that captures this tension. The movie also features Kylie Jenner playing herself.
