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.

Her Private Hell is about so little it’s not even about nothing.

It’s quite an accomplishment for a film that has so emphatically rejected substance in favour of style to look as ugly as this, yet Nicolas Winding Refn’s stridently shallow latest is an assault on the eyes.

1/5

Glossy nonsense. It’s dripping in style, and tries very hard to find the enigmatic cool to match, but Her Private Hell is just a very pretty load of old bollocks.

3/5

Her Private Hell is for serious connoisseurs, served exclusively to those who crave the most extreme experiences and are more concerned with the puzzle pieces looking beautiful than with the final picture. [Full review in Spanish]

3.5/5

There are plenty of incentives for the exquisite cocktail of neon lights, haze, vaporous textures, and strobe lights to compensate for both its drowsiness and headaches. [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.
