Seven-year-old Maria and her mother live in their own loving world built on sorting through bins and collecting shiny rubbish. One night, their world falls apart, and we join Maria a decade later, living with her foster mother.

Critics Consensus

Finding treasure in others' trash, Hoard is a beautifully acted and sweetly humanist debut for writer-director Luna Carmoon.

Spit-soaked and admirably weird though it is, Hoard just doesn’t quite build to saying anything about its own grossness.

Rated: 3/5

Stylish, unusual, and challenging.

New York Times

“Hoard” is never a drag. The insolence of the filmmaking and the artlessness of the leads energize a plot of stunning recklessness and unexpected humor.

The People's Movies

Overall, this is a great directorial debut from Carmoon and I am excited to see her future directorial projects as she has proven herself to be a visionary director with a unique and striking visual style that stayed with me long after the movie ended

Rated: 3/5

Caimán Cuadernos de Cine

Although there are script decisions that aren't fully understood, Hoard is at least an original film, which explores recurring themes in cinema from a different point of view, with truly exceptional performances.[Full review in Spanish]

Ventana Indiscreta

The film presents an unusual and emotionally powerful narrative about toxic relationships. It is an original proposal that offers a profound reflection on the impact of memories and maternal love in extreme conditions. Full review in Spanish.

É estranho mas intenso de uma maneira boa. pode ser confuso para alguns mas o elenco é incrível. Tive de assistir em inglês porque não havia legendas na minha língua. Mas assistiria novamente.

"Your grief will take you with it if you let it ." A fantasia on trauma, escapism, the fragility of happiness, and the power of impulsivity, Hoard avoids some of the nihilistic traps others in this genre fall into...while keeping us in limbo like its protagonist, without the comfort of definitive catharsis.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This film is a thoughtful examination of the impact of parental mental illness. It has a real vintage feel to it, reminiscent of 1960's b/w kitchen sink dramas such as Poor Cow. I was really surprised it was a recent production. The acting is 100%, and I felt it was a welcome reminder that although we don't all dance to the same beat, there is beauty and love in lives that can be incomprehensible and chaotic to the mainstream eye. Having worked in social services this film would make good required viewing for trainee social workers. It has the feel of future curriculum viewing.

Absolutely amazing, best film I've seen in a long time. Acting was 10 out of 10, such a unique and weird film, I just loved it .... it's definitely a must see.

A horrible film with (apart from Samantha Spiro’s performance) no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and a borderline trite and offensive depiction of the nature causes and treatment of mental disorder.
