Overview
- After premiering at Sundance on January 23, the film opened January 30 via A24 and earned nearly $428,000 on four screens for a $107,000 per-theater average, according to Forbes citing Deadline.
- Directed by Aidan Zamiri and co-written by and starring Charli XCX, the ensemble includes Alexander Skarsgård, Kylie Jenner, Rosanna Arquette, Kate Berlant, Jamie Demetriou, and Rachel Sennott.
- Positioned as a mockumentary, the project blends real events with invention to examine the tug-of-war between artistic vision and commercial pressures.
- Reporting clarifies that several headline-grabbing elements are fictionalized, including a Brat-branded credit card, an Amazon concert film, and the specific director character.
- Charli says Brat expanded her audience to people who didn’t always understand her, and she frames the film as closing that chapter as she shifts focus to acting and soundtrack work.
