Overview

  • Directed by Aidan Zamiri, the A24 mockumentary features Charli playing a version of herself, with Alexander Skarsgård as a controlling concert-film director and appearances by Kylie Jenner and Rosanna Arquette.
  • Early reviews from the festival are mixed, with many praising Charli’s performance and A. G. Cook’s music while criticizing uneven satire and tone.
  • A24 will open the film in New York and Los Angeles on Jan. 30, expand across the U.S. on Feb. 6, and release in the UK and Ireland on Feb. 20.
  • In post‑screening remarks, Charli said she wants the Brat chapter to end as she moves deliberately into acting and filmmaking.
  • The premiere drew strong fan turnout and promotional buzz, including brat‑green merch and an after‑party crowd large enough to require police crowd control.
