Hoard 

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

Stylish, unusual, and challenging.

“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.

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.


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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
