Fun Facts
Charli XCX plays a fictionalized version of herself navigating creative clashes between tour director Johannes (Alexander Skarsgård) sanitizing her vision and choreographer Celeste (Kate Berlant) defending the raw aesthetic, while Rosanna Arquette and Rachel Sennott portray key team members fueling backstage tensions.
Shot documentary-style during actual 2024 tour prep, production captured authentic fatigue as Charli argues with managers over Ibiza escapes and holistic facial disasters, blending underground rave roots with arena polish under Atlantic Records' commercial grip.
The 103-minute R-rated satire escalates when Charli's impulsive social media post for a credit card deal triggers fan fraud scandals, bankrupting partner Howard Stirling and sparking her disappearance, mirroring real Brat summer absurdities with cameos from Kylie Jenner as herself.
