The Branding Iron - The Moment review by griggs
Charli XCX spends this whole film being hunted by her own branding department, and it’s funnier than it has any right to be.
The Moment plays like a mockumentary about the exact second authenticity gets handed a project manager. Charli’s better on screen than I’d guessed — glazed, running on fumes, which weirdly works for the character. Alexander Skarsgård plays Johannes, a director who reckons every crisis can be solved with the right moodboard, and watching him squirm is a joy.
It’s sharpest when it pokes at the machinery: the tour schedule, the Brat-branded credit card, the meeting where someone earnestly asks if a breakdown can be slotted in around the merch drop. Basically, fame here is admin — every triumph needs sign-off from six people in lanyards.
The problem is the satire pulls its punches. It keeps circling the target, and a few scenes feel like sketches waiting for a punchline that never shows up.
Fizzy, funny, a bit toothless — the sort of corporate breakdown that still somehow comes with merch.
