Hoard

About This Movie

Hoard is this intriguing blend of drama and fantasy set in the nostalgia-laden 90s. It dives into the life of Maria, a teenager grappling with the shadows of her mother's past as a hoarder. The film captures that raw, almost haunting atmosphere, where memories are both a comfort and a burden. Maria's interactions with Michael, a former foster resident, really drive home the themes of rediscovering lost passions and confronting personal history. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in the emotional weight. The performances are genuine, especially from the young leads, who navigate their characters' complex emotions with a kind of earnestness that feels authentic. There's something distinctly compelling about how it visually represents memory, blending practical effects that ground the fantastical elements.
