Watch Charli XCX Parody Her Brat Era in Teaser Trailer for New Movie The Moment

"In the clip, we get a preview of the pop star's rapid ascent to the top during her era, but told through a self-parody style: rehearsing a punch-like dance move in a mirror, the physically painful effect of that bright-neon green and strobe lights, and a mannequin shattering on the floor during a show rehearsal bit she's meant to replicate. Watch it below."

"In a statement about the movie, Charli XCX said, "It's not a tour documentary or a concert film in any way, but the seed of the idea was conceived from this idea of being pressured to make one. It's fiction, but it's the realest depiction of the music industry that I've ever seen.""

"The Moment is helmed by Aidan Zamiri-marking the music photographer's directorial debut-and features a number of other celebrities and actors in smaller roles, including Alexander Skarsgård, Kylie Jenner, Rachel Sennott, Rosanna Arquette, Kate Berlant, Hailey Benton Gates, and Jamie Demetriou. Zamiri co-wrote the film with Bertie Brandes. The Moment hits theaters everywhere on January 30."
