Charli XCX is taking on nine films in the next year and it remains to be seen if she can act convincingly.
She stars alongside Natalie Portman in Peter Ohs's indie drama Erupcja, which premiered at the Toronto film festival last year. Charli's performance as Bethany was praised by The New Yorker for its "energetic yet poised" qualities, but her role is described as small and significant nonetheless.
Charli also has a part in Julia Jackman's medieval fantasy film 100 Nights of Hero, set in a patriarchal world where she plays the free-spirited Rosa. Her scenes are limited to a story within a story and Charli brings an unusual softness to her portrayal of the character, which is a far cry from her usual confident stage presence.
Charli's upcoming film, The Moment, marks her first leading role and takes aim at her own persona as a 21st-century pop star. She plays herself in the mockumentary-style satire, skewering her brand deals and old songs while navigating an ill-fated branded credit card promotion. Charli brings a naturalistic depth to the performance, capturing her own stress and vulnerability in response to fan admiration.
Charli's ability to play against type has been praised in films like I Want Your Sex, where she takes on a prudish role alongside a much younger performer. She collaborates with directors who appreciate her unique talents and style, allowing her to shine in smaller but significant parts.
The key to Charli's acting success seems to be her genuine passion for movies and her love of cinema. In interviews, she expresses a desire to collaborate with like-minded creatives rather than simply choosing projects based on their reputation or marketability. Her approach may not guarantee stardom but has the potential to yield surprising results.
Her versatility will likely serve her well as Charli navigates her way through various film genres and roles. By embracing her individuality, she may find a more lasting foothold in Hollywood than some of her peers who have relied solely on their celebrity status.

! She's got this whole "acting against type" thing down pat, and I think that's what makes her performances so compelling. Like, who would've thought she'd be great in a prudish role or as herself in a satirical mockumentary? 
It just shows that she's not afraid to take risks and try new things.
.
, and playing rosa in 100 nights of hero is an interesting choice, i love that she's trying out different roles instead of just sticking to her pop persona...Charli XCX has been dropping some fire music lately too 
, maybe we'll see her bring that energy to the big screen? 
I love how she's taking on these indie roles that are so not what you'd expect from her, it's like she's proving people wrong and i am HERE. for. it 
. And let's be real, she's got some big shoes to fill (no pun intended) playing herself in The Moment, but I think she'll bring a lot of humor and heart to the role. Can't wait to see how this all plays out! 
. And I gotta say, I love how she's taking on these smaller roles that allow her to tap into different parts of herself - from the free-spirited Rosa in 100 Nights of Hero 
, to playing herself in The Moment with all its snark and vulnerability 
); she genuinely cares about telling stories and exploring different characters. And I think that's what's gonna set her apart from other celebrities who are just phoning it in.
. That's the kind of vulnerability and willingness to take risks that makes me wanna root for her all the way.
! Bring on the surprises, girl! 
! One thing's for sure, I'm excited to see where her acting journey takes her next 
her next movie sounds kinda funny i love how shes playin herself in that mockumentary tho 
it's cool she got these collabs with directors who get her vibe now let's see if she can keep up the energy from her music career and maybe she'll be the one breakin all the rules in hollywood 
. And her performance as herself in The Moment? Iconic! She's not afraid to poke fun at her own persona and bring some real humor to it 
. Can't wait to see what she does next! 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to see a mockumentary about themselves, skewering their own brand and navigating fan adoration? 
. Her ability to play against type is giving me all the feels, and I'm rooting for her to continue exploring different roles and genres 
!
! She's not afraid to take risks and play against type, which I think is super refreshing. And can we talk about how gorgeous she looks in those medieval fantasy films? 100 Nights of Hero tho, Rosa is giving me life 
I love how she's playing herself in The Moment though, it's like she's poking fun at the whole pop star thing and I'm here for that 
But seriously, Charli's been taking on some interesting roles and collaborating with directors who get her vibe, so fingers crossed she'll keep pushing boundaries and surprising us 
. At the same time, I'm a bit skeptical about how well she'll fare in leading roles 
. She does have a tendency to come across as confident on stage, but acting is a whole different beast... we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out 
let's see if this momentum carries over to bigger blockbusters but either way charli xcx is serving up some serious acting vibes 
Her ability to play different roles and personas seems almost too good to be true... I mean, who else could pull off that edgy pop star vibe in The Moment while still being vulnerable on screen? 
I'm not saying it can't be real talent, but... have you seen her social media? She's always promoting some new brand or product...
