"Charli released the first teaser for the project today, and it's still a little murky how much of it is fiction. The trailer sees the with her Sweat Tour and Brat Tour, both of which really happened beginning in September 2024. There's also some footage in here of Charli's appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert , which presumably was not an elaborate bit crafted for . There's also a moment of voiceover wherein Charli says, "Nothing is more important than ,""
"But there are also quite a few vignettes in the 90-second teaser that seem more obviously scripted, like an awkward interaction with a fan who drew some wildly proportioned art of the singer. Ultimately, it seems to land around This Is Spinal Tap , except that Charli xcx is a real person and not a character invented by Christopher Guest. (At least, not that we know of yet!)"
Charli released a 90-second teaser for a film that blends real tour footage with scripted vignettes. The teaser includes Sweat Tour and Brat Tour material from September 2024 and clips of an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. A voiceover includes the line Nothing is more important than ,. Several scenes appear staged, including an awkward fan interaction featuring a wildly proportioned drawing. The piece channels mockumentary energy similar to This Is Spinal Tap while centering a real performer. The film is directed by Aidan Zamiri from an idea by Charli xcx and opens January 30, 2026.
