Few movie releases this winter carry the kind of meta twist that The Moment does — a pop star playing a pop star, with A24’s signature style wrapped around it. Charli XCX stars in this mockumentary about fame and the pressure of an arena tour, and with showtimes arriving in late January 2026, fans are already checking listings.

Where can I watch The Moment 2026?

Theatrical showtimes in the US

You can buy tickets and view showtimes at a theater near you through major ticketing platforms. Fandango lists the film with a release date of Friday, Jan 30, 2026, and allows users to search local listings. Cinemark also lists showtimes and tickets for theaters near you.

The upshot

Fandango and Cinemark both offer the clearest path to booking — but check your local theater’s actual schedule before heading out, as some listings vary by date.

International screenings (Ireland, UK)

International release dates vary by market. The Numbers lists a limited release in the United Kingdom on February 20, 2026, and a wide release in Germany on February 19, 2026.

The pattern: US viewers have the earliest access, followed by UK and European markets in late February, with Australia and New Zealand following in March.

Where is The Moment being released?

Release dates in the US

The Moment opened in select theaters on January 30, 2026, according to Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes. The Numbers notes a domestic expansion on February 13, 2026, also by A24.

Release dates in Canada and Europe

Canada shares the January 30, 2026 release date, per IMDb. European markets begin in February: Germany gets a wide release on February 19, 2026, and the United Kingdom a limited release on February 20, 2026, according to The Numbers. Brazil follows with a limited release on February 26, 2026.

What to watch

The gap between the US limited release (Jan 30) and the UK release (Feb 20) means British fans wait nearly three extra weeks — but the streaming release on March 3 could close that gap entirely.

What is the 2026 movie The Moment about?

Synopsis

Fandango describes the film as a story about a rising pop star navigating fame and industry pressure while preparing for her arena tour debut. It’s a mockumentary directed by Aidan Zamiri.

Cast and crew

  • Charli XCX — lead role
  • Alexander Skarsgård — supporting role
  • Hailey Benton Gates — supporting role
  • Jamie Demetriou — supporting role
  • Directed by Aidan Zamiri (Fandango)

The implication: the film leans into meta-commentary, with Charli XCX playing a version of herself.

Is The Moment 2026 a good movie?

Critical reception

Early reviews indicate a unique mockumentary style, but no official Rotten Tomatoes score or critical consensus is available yet. Rotten Tomatoes lists the theatrical release but has not published a Tomatometer rating as of this writing.

Audience reactions

Audience response is still forming since the film only opened in limited theaters on January 30. A24’s Instagram post announcing the release has generated buzz, but comprehensive user reviews are not yet available on major platforms.

The catch

Without a critical consensus or user rating data, early judgment is premature. The mockumentary format and Charli XCX’s involvement suggest a niche appeal.

Where can I find The Moment 2026 showtimes near me?

Using Fandango

Fandango provides nationwide showtimes — enter your ZIP code or city to find nearby theaters with screenings. The platform also lets you buy tickets directly.

Using AMC Theatres

AMC Theatres list showtimes for their locations. Check the AMC website or app for The Moment listings in your area.

Using local cinema websites

For independent or regional theaters, the official website offers a “Find Screenings” tool that aggregates showtimes across participating venues. The Cinemark site also lists showtimes for its locations.

Why this matters: no single aggregator covers every market — using Fandango for national chains and the official site for independent venues gives you the best coverage.
