Overview
- The Sundance-premiered mockumentary, directed by Aidan Zamiri from a Charli XCX concept, blends tour footage with scripted satire about fame and industry pressure.
- A24 cites strong under‑35 turnout, sold‑out Alamo Drafthouse screenings with a livestreamed Q&A, and more than 70% of premium large‑format shows already sold.
- Critical reception is mixed, with praise for Charli XCX’s performance and reservations about the film’s tone and execution, including a middling Rotten Tomatoes score.
- Promotions include A. G. Cook’s soundtrack and the newly released Residue video featuring a Kylie Jenner cameo, fueling social buzz ahead of release.
- Further dates include a Feb. 6 U.S. expansion and a Feb. 20 opening in the U.K. and Ireland, as Charli publicly signals a pivot away from her Brat era.
