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.

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.

Rated: 4/5

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

This is fearless, personal filmmaking and absolutely worth seeking out.

I walked out … absolutely obnoxious. The repulsive scene with the mother’s ashes was the final straw.

After 45 minutes, I thought "so, everybody involved is badly damaged and their actions make no sense. Where is this going?" At the end I concluded everybody involved is badly damaged, their actions make no sense, and it didn't go anywhere. Two stars for the lead actress, who inhabits her character to the extent that she seems possessed. The rest of the film gets a zero. Extremely poor character and plot development. To cite just one example - we're supposed to believe Michael's girlfriend seems to calm down and forgive him just that easily in the end?!

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.
