Films to watch for a Brat-coded summer

List

27 Jul

Brat summer is in full swing. To celebrate, we’ve rounded up our favourite ‘brat-coded’ films that we think you’ll love — and hope they inspire you to unleash your inner party girl 💚

What is ‘Brat Summer’?
Brat summer is an aesthetic, an attitude and a way of life, inspired by the Charli XCX album ‘brat’ that was released in June this year. Think grimy club dance floors, club-filling beats and chaotic energy, or as Charli puts it: ‘brat is about: me, my flaws, my fuck ups, my ego all rolled into one’.
