The Sun (UK)

Director Luna Carmoon draws from her own experiences of growing up in 1980s London, to tell this captivating account about overcoming loss and childhood trauma.

Chaotic as it is, Hoard’s acrid punk perversity is quite some opening statement.

Rated: 3/5

There Were No Gods Left

As a vehicle for grief, loss, and guilt, Hoard doesn’t fare quite as well. Unfortunately, these themes form the center of Carmoon’s strange project.

Yo be honest it was kinda good but it 91% of the movie, Maria is my favorite character, Saura did a great job with her performance, it was stunning, I hate Michael he’s not my favorite character, he’s useless, I can tell that man of his nasty ass way to follow Maria despite to her trauma, a man who had sex with her show butt naked in the camera mmhm wish they can show one of his boogie penis next time like Joseph Quinn had his too, but yeah it’s good.

An incredibly strange but beautiful story. Luna Carmoon is definitely someone to look out for and I cannot wait to see where her career goes from here. Saura Lightfoot Leon and Joseph Quinn put on a breathtaking performance!
