MY HOARDING IS GETTING DANGEROUS FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN

Cinemavixion Review

This documentary delves into the life of Pauline, a 58-year-old whose profound love for Christmas has resulted in an overwhelming accumulation of decorations, posing a structural threat to her home. The narrative highlights the conflict between her festive passion and the practical dangers of extreme clutter, which prevents her from hosting her grandchildren. The intervention of psychotherapist Stelios Kiosses, alongside de-cluttering experts Zoe Steel and Allyson Pritchard, offers a glimmer of hope. The film also touches upon a secondary case involving antiques dealer Greg and his girlfriend Judith, whose shared space is compromised by Greg's unfinished repair projects. It's a compelling look at how personal obsessions can impact family life and the challenging journey towards reclaiming one's living space.
