Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: The Moment may not be as effective a mockumentary as something like This is Spinal Tap, but it still has enough memorable moments to make it worth seeing for both fans and non-fans alike.
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: What we have here is a delightful and thoughtful delectation on the eternal struggle between art and commerce, and yes, the irony of making a film about an artist who doesn’t want to compromise to reach a wider audience doing just that.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: I couldn’t have picked singer Charli XCX out of a lineup before this faux documentary, but it makes her pop-stardom crisis oddly compelling and occasionally funny.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: A huge pop star goes all Spinal Tap in her movie. It doesn’t work.
- [New] | Dan Stalcup @ The Goods: Film Reviews
- Excerpt: The most gripping stretch of the film comes before any of that satire: a strobe-lit club performance intro that drops you straight into Charli’s chaotic headspace.
