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]

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20, 2024

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

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 17, 2024

Stylish, unusual, and challenging.

Although the movie itself has its ups and downs and is arguably too long, Hoard is a promising directorial debut for filmmaker Luna Carmoon.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 13, 2024

At over two hours, there's a slight sense of it getting lost within its own concept at times, and some will find the level of discomfort too much. But there's no denying this is a strong, promising debut from an exciting new voice in British film.

| Sep 11, 2024

Despite its considerable flaws, Hoard succeeds in showing the strange and surreal avenues grief and tragedy can take a young person down, and the gleeful volatility inherent to finding someone who is on the same wavelength as one’s particular weirdness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 10, 2024

No easy answers come out of Hoard, and the film is stronger for it – this a voyage into the unknown, and a meditation on past cycles of violence will sit with audiences long after the credits roll.

“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.

| Sep 5, 2024

Audacious, unflinching and thought-provoking.

| Sep 5, 2024

It’s looks like a standard British social drama, but could well appeal to genre fans. There’s an edge of both body horror, and the kind of transgressive sexual energy that powers something like Cronenberg’s Crash, or Steven Shainberg‘s Secretary.

| Original Score: 4 | Sep 4, 2024

Captivating in its oddness and committed performances, game enough to go anywhere Luna Carmoon dares them to

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 3, 2024

The film does grow a mite unfocused as the shaggy backend fills out an overlong 126-minute runtime, but as it stands, Hoard squarely establishes Carmoon as a filmmaker to watch, her vision supported by the impressive performances of her lead actors.

| Sep 3, 2024

Depicting Cynthia’s mental health challenges without judgement, Carmoon allows us to feel both the rock of their unassailable bond and the tenuous nature of their co-dependent relationship, at once a thing of beauty and viscerally mired in coagulant goo.

| Sep 1, 2024

Luna Carmoon is such a unique, strong filmmaker and Hoard feels like it is just a small peek into the kinds of stories she is capable of sharing with us – all, no doubt, just as special, just as singular, and just as magical.

| Aug 29, 2024

Hoard is a bold and provocative debut for filmmaker Luna Carmoon, who almost indulgently flaunts a style that leans into its unique flavour of anarchic absurdism, but often at the risk of alienating an audience with weaker stomachs.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 5, 2024

Luna Carmoon draws the relation between trauma and love in a very interesting story. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2024

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.

There is real beauty amid all the rubbish, and the dirt, and the saliva...
