The film, directed by Aiden Zamiri and produced by A24, is a fictionalised account of the cultural phenomenon that followed the release of the 33-year-old singer’s Brat album in 2024, and follows her on the lead-up to a world tour. It has received mixed reviews from critics, with The Telegraph describing it as “more like a glum Spice World than the next Spinal Tap”, referring to the 1997 comedy film about the Spice Girls, and calling it a “messy exercise in self-consciousness”, awarding it two out of five stars. The review read: “Though billed as a mockumentary, The Moment, also directed by Zamiri, is less Spinal Tap and more Black Swan, a ragged, borderline horror film of cracking under the pressure of getting what you want. The review read: “Sadly, the mockumentary Zamiri’s film most resembles — at times, eerily so — is Spice World: The Movie. The Moment was released in US cinemas on January 30, and is released in UK cinemas on Friday.
