There’s been a lot of controversy surrounding Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic 1847 novel Wuthering Heights, largely centered around the decision to whitewash the character of Heathcliff by casting Jacob Elordi in the role. However, almost every adaptation of the novel thus far has cast a white actor in the role, with Andrea Arnold’s 2011 adaptation being one of the rare exceptions. Between the casting, anachronistic costume designs, and original songs by Charli xcx, it’s clear even before audiences step into the theater that this version of Wuthering Heights isn’t concerned with being faithful to the novel or the time period in which it takes place. Anyone who walks into Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights expecting an accurate adaptation of Emily Brontë’s novel is setting themselves up for major disappointment.

Over the past year, Charli xcx has started to dabble in acting, with performances in Julia Jackman’s 100 Nights of Hero, Pete Ohs’ Erupcja, and Romain Gavras’ The Sacrifice. She has two films premiering at this year’s Sundance Film Festival: Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sex and Aidan Zamiri’s The Moment. So far, she’s made some incredibly inspired choices with the films she’s been in. What makes The Moment different from her previous roles is that this time she’s playing a fictionalized version of herself. But that doesn’t make it any less inspired. What’s so fascinating about The Moment is that while other popstars have capitalized on their tours with concert films or behind-the-scenes documentaries, Charli opted for something entirely different after the success of brat summer: a mockumentary.
