Charli xcx takes on nine feature films at once: can she keep up?
In the new film "The Moment," Charli xcx plays a parody of herself as a pop star under pressure. The film is a satire that wonders what would have happened if the singer had lost her head after the success of her 2024 album Brat.
Charli's approach to acting seems maximalist, but she's starting small. As a pop star, she commands the stage with main character energy, but on screen, at least so far, she seems quite happy in a supporting role.
In "100 Nights of Hero," Charli stars as Rosa, a cute and unselfconscious heroine who comes across as pure of spirit before she has even said a word. Her ability to manipulate her face is one of her greatest gifts as an actress, as seen in TV comedy "Overcompensating" where she mines it for comedy.
Charli's taste is her secret weapon. She has been drawn to independent films that are playful and in line with her tastes, often partnering with directors who share her views. Her choice of roles seems more about having fun than shoring up her standing in Hollywood.
The next stop on Charli's route to screen domination is Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights. The director blends twisted humor with blunt feminism, making the film an unlikely fit for Charli at first glance. However, attaching herself to the project via its soundtrack makes sense, allowing her to flirt with the gothic aesthetic while remaining safely adjacent to Fennell's style.
Charli has lined up nine feature films and counting, including "Erupcja" and "A Tree Is Blue." Her ability to juggle multiple projects at once suggests that she may turn out to be an auteur rather than a vessel. With her unique blend of charm and charisma, Charli xcx is poised to make a lasting impact on the film world.
