Disorder
Synopsis:
Disorder, features Hilary Kacser as Pakrat Patty who spills her heart out about dealing with all her stuff with hilarity, poignant honesty, and realism. Hilary Kacser gets to the heart of why a lot of us live the way we do, surrounded by stuff we no longer need, will not use, and cannot find when we need to. Clutter- it's the bane of our existence to be packed to the gills with stuff we cannot let go. In one bit, she tries hard to throw away a piece of paper, but the resistance is just too overpowering - what if she needs it just moments after she let it go? Disorder covers a tremendous amount of emotional territory by breaking down aspects of hoarding, what it is, why we do it, while laying out the consequences of being filled beyond capacity, including the sudden rise of U-Store-Itt companies. the mentality of big, bigger and compulsively even more has its consequences as seen in Patty's fledging and jeopardized love interest - will she really allow the stuff in her life to compromise her relationship? Kacser is a gifted actress and she communicates the delicacy and intricacy of the situations with respect and caring. Watching her deal with her relationship to her stuff is a healing and cathartic experience. Whether she's shedding the multiple sets of clothing she originally had on, or climbing into or out of a trash bin to retrieve something, or even playing an accordion to rally up enthusiasm to "let it go," she's a believable ally and coach to help tackle that desk, corner, room or even that house.
