Charli XCX's Big Shift: From Pop Star to Film Star

Charli XCX, the British pop sensation, is making a bold transition from music to movies. At the Sundance Film Festival, she's showcasing her acting skills in not one, but three films.

The Biggest Project: "The Moment"

The most anticipated film is "The Moment," a comedy that delves into Charli's life during her infamous "brat" phase. In the movie, she plays herself, navigating the chaos of sudden fame.

Beyond Acting: Soundtrack and New Ventures

Charli isn't just acting; she's also written a soundtrack for another movie and is fully immersing herself in the film industry. She's ready to leave the "brat" era behind and explore new creative avenues.

Fans Show Unwavering Support

Her fans, however, are not so quick to let go. Many attended Sundance wearing green beanies and holding copies of her album, ready to support her no matter what.

The Journey from Underground to Mainstream

"The Moment" chronicles Charli's rise from an underground club artist to a mainstream superstar. The film features cameos from Kylie Jenner and Julia Fox, and its style is inspired by the classic mockumentary "This Is Spinal Tap."

A Mixed Reception at Sundance

Not everyone at Sundance knows who Charli XCX is. Some attendees of an environmental film panel had no idea who she was when her movie premiere was mentioned. Perhaps this is a good thing for Charli, signaling her progress in moving on from the "brat" era.

A Special Year for Sundance

This year's Sundance is extra special for Charli. It's the last time the festival will be in Park City, and it's the first since the founder, Robert Redford, passed away. Charli has a packed schedule, with more movie premieres and even a TikTok panel to look forward to.
