There are movies about grief and loss and childhood trauma… and then there’s Hoard.
It’s also gross.
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
Grief stays with us, and trauma transforms us.
Older Maria, quite frankly, stinks and the people around her have no problem constantly saying so.
I’ve seen some reviews call it a moment of healing, with others describing it as confusion.
Not every film has a lesson or a takeaway, and Carmoon isn’t trying to teach us anything.
This isn’t a fable or fairy tale.
At the core of this grotesque, surprising, and moving pic is love, pure love.
The love Michael has for Maria isn’t real: she’s his ‘manic pixie dream girl.’
Sometimes climbing to the top of a trash heap is the best way to watch the fireworks.
Hoard is out now in Ireland and the UK.
