"Charli XCX's The Moment dropped its official trailer on December 11, giving the world its first prolonged look at the tour mockumentary "based on an original idea by Charli XCX." A"vaguely true" version of Charli is in the midst of a music machine that may be moving faster than she can keep up with it. "The second people are getting sick of you, that's when you have to go even harder," Kylie Jenner advises her."
"Many of the trailer's laugh lines are due to Alexander Skarsgård, who plays a show director who doesn't fully get it. "She's singing about cocaine," Charli's assistant tells him. He's confused: "Literally or metaphorically?" In response, she asks, "What's metaphorical cocaine?" Then, in the grand finale, he sticks Charli inside a giant, sparkly lighter that spurts fire. "Why would I be inside it if it's on fire?" Charli asks, already inside the set piece. Then, the thing erupts."
Charli XCX's The Moment presents a 'vaguely true' tour mockumentary capturing a sped-up music career and surreal live production. The official trailer released December 11 highlights absurd set pieces, behind-the-scenes misunderstandings, and heightened celebrity moments. Kylie Jenner advises Charli to escalate her profile when audiences grow tired. Alexander Skarsgård portrays a confused show director whose literal interpretations generate comedy. The cast includes Rosanna Arquette, Hailey Benton Gates, Jamie Demetriou, Kate Berlant, and Rachel Sennott.
