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.

This is a highly personal, annoyingly silly film that is a gorgeous slog. I would rather stare at a single frame of Her Private Hell for 109 minutes than sit through the actual movie for its full runtime again.

If you try to take these characters and situations literally, Her Private Hell is tough sledding; if you start looking at them as free-floating genre signifiers, the film becomes considerably more absorbing.

I admired the madness. What it all means, I can only guess, but I was captivated by Mr. Refn’s psyche-mining imagery.

Her Private Hell is undeniably a mood-heavy experience... but if you are looking for narratively rich filmmaking... you will leave disappointed.

Movie Brief

5d

Aestheticized ultraviolence, bisexual lighting, and a taciturn protagonist who’s little more than a beautiful cipher? Her Private Hell is a Nicolas Winding Refn movie, all right, but that distinction means less today than it did when he made Drive.

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.

Can't recommend it but if you ever want to go to an almost empty viewing this movie is it

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.

I watched this sort of actively hating it but about a third of the way through it clicked for me
