Critics Consensus

Intoxicating in style but saddled with pacing that feels like purgatory, Her Private Hell is a take-it-or-leave-it proposition from Nicolas Winding Refn that the unconverted will happily decline.

Audience Says

Visually striking but emotionally distant, Her Private Hell may prove just as punishing for audiences.

Visually, much of this still provides a fun frisson... But admirable as it is that Refn can still so purely be himself, it might also be time for a change.

Her Private Hell is a phantasmagoria bathed in neon-strip lighting, a resonant howl of Oedipal confusion that is set to one of the most gorgeous film scores of the 21st century.

Refn’s cold, theoretical violence and Thatcher’s knack for affected, high-glamor drama are a match made in DayGlo heaven.

The problem is that the film never lives up to the hype surrounding such names and, at best, seems like an unattractive cousin of Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, by Jane Schoenbrun...[Full review in Spanish]

2/5

All style and very little substance, Her Private Hell may be a striking visual experience, but almost everything beyond its aesthetics proves disappointingly lacklustre.

Here, the concept of a narrative in the usual sense of the term simply does not exist. [Full review in Spanish]

I missed most of the beginning but I don't think it messed with the experience that I got watching this movie, the colors are beautiful and I just really enjoyed watching it.

If you like NWR, you’ll want to see this! The Neon Demon meets Only God Forgives, with a healthy dollop of cyberpunk as well as post-WWII Japan vibes.

A tough movie to recommend to general audience but IYKYK NWR it’s an imaginative narrative, stunning world building, atmospheric, metaphor driven, thread of hero path, pepper in Argento and Lynch, no answers but the clues are all there.

One of the most beautiful and wonderfully odd and bold visions in recent cinema.
