- James Saenz26. Juli 2026genuinely don’t know what to think of this film. multiple people walked out of my showing, and i can’t really blame them. it’s so weird, but it’s beautifully shot with a captivating soundtrack. story time: i was one of two people who stayed till the very end of the end credits, and i locked eyes with the other person for like half a second before i rushed to the restroom— i was the only person in there at that time. i went to pee at a urinal, and moments later that same man sidles up to the urinal right next to me, starts to pee, and then looks straight up and asks aloud, “do you understand what the fuck it is we just watched?” i burst out laughing. he broke urinal code but it was so earnest and we had a wonderful conversation about the film all the way to the parking lot. that’s what the movies are all about, baby: two people with their dicks out earnestly talking about cinema at the urinals.
- Lino3. August 2026Great cinematography, but who cares? I wanted to like this, but it's one of the most boring, nonsensical, pretentious nothing-burger films I've ever seen. Sophie Thatcher is such a wonderful actress but was wasted on this dreck. In fact I don't blame any of the actors at all, they did what they could with this steaming pile. Half a star for them, everyone should be fired and ashamed.
- Garrett Wilkins31. August 2026Nicolas Winding Refn's Her Private Hell has the kind of visual confidence that initially makes you want to believe there is something deeper underneath it. Magnus Nordenhof Jønck's neon-drenched photography and lingering static shots give the film a polished, dreamlike atmosphere, while Pino Donaggio's synthesizer-heavy score adds another layer of uneasy unreality. Sophie Thatcher and Charles Melton commit to the material with a brooding seriousness, but the thin script leaves them with little to do beyond prolonged looks and sparse exchanges. The film certainly knows how it wants to look, but that aesthetic quickly becomes repetitive. The bigger issue is how little happens beneath all that style. Her Private Hell moves at a glacial pace without giving its stillness enough dramatic tension to justify it, and what initially feels mysterious gradually becomes simply empty. The detached performances and sparse storytelling might have worked if there were stronger ideas underneath them, but the film rarely gives us enough reason to become emotionally invested in what we're watching. The visual polish keeps it from being a complete misfire, yet Her Private Hell ultimately feels like an exercise in atmosphere that mistakes emptiness for depth and leaves very little behind once the screen goes dark.
- badhandbanana31. August 2026Refn has been hanging out with Kojima too much; nothing else explains him naming the antagonist of the film "Leatherman".
- cultfilmliker30. Juli 2026N E E D L E E A T E R Cinematography, sets, lighting, and styling: 7/5 Reincarnated David Lynch’s Blade Runner 2049 x Rear Window with that trademark NWR stylistic approach Two attempts in the theater. Twice I fell asleep during the second act. Now that I have some context I feel like the third try (at home) will be the charm!
- Jacob Bradley8. August 2026Looks great but has no plot
- jackmeat16. August 2026My quick rating - 4.1/10. Her Private Hell starts with a futuristic-looking cityscape buried under enough fog. I was wondering if the budget went to the cast or a really expensive smoke machine. Elle (Sophie Thatcher) arrives at the Tower hotel, which looks exactly as ominous as a place called the Tower hotel should. There she meets Hunter (Kristine Froseth), before Dominique (Havana Rose Liu), Elle's stepmother, joins them for some truly narcissistic dialogue that somehow manages to tell us almost nothing about the movie they're supposedly there to make. Naturally, we get the family backstory instead. Elle's father is Johnny Thunders (Dougray Scott), because apparently everyone in this universe needs a name that sounds like it belongs on a progressive rock album. Then a mysterious mist engulfs the advanced metropolis and unleashes a deadly, elusive entity. And then the strange mist surrounds the highly advanced city and releases a lethal, mysterious creature. In the meantime, an American GI soldier, Private K (Charles Melton), undertakes a terrible quest to save his daughter and comes across a mentally unstable girl looking for her father. Now, if all of this seems exciting, join the club. I thought so, too. Visually, they absolutely nailed the movie-within-the-movie. The retro high-tech aesthetic has a great old-school sci-fi quality, particularly during the girls' filming scene. I got a dated William Shatner-era Star Trek vibe. The film is directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, so people who have seen films of his know that the film will offer them lots of neon colors and carefully composed shots. And the visuals really are impressive. Even the initial Private K sequence has an interesting pan-and-scan quality that makes the whole thing feel like some forgotten piece of futuristic VHS trash that somehow received a very expensive makeover. Unfortunately, around the one-hour mark, I said out loud, "This is boring." That is generally not the reaction you want with roughly 50 minutes left. The themes are there. Unstable families. Fame as a prison. Fathers and daughters. The crushing emptiness lurking beneath glamour. It would appear that Refn is attempting a "Neon Giallo" horror film, full of metaphorical visual imagery and dream logic. Unfortunately, there simply isn’t enough story to support all that visual poetry. Things happen. Then other things happen. Characters move through increasingly beautiful images. More things happen. Eventually, I realized I was watching events rather than a story. This is a prime example of style over substance. Her Private Hell is an absolute treat in terms of its look, but it never gives any significance to that imagery in terms of plot to get me interested. It's a beautiful nightmare that forgot to give me a reason to have the nightmare. There are films where the lack of conventional storytelling becomes hypnotic. This isn't one of them. In this case, the dreamlike staging gradually turns into a test of endurance, and what once was mysterious soon becomes wondering if we are ever going to get a story. A generous 4.1, largely because this thing looks so damn good. For about 110 minutes, I was trapped inside someone else's visual poetry exercise. Turns out, Her Private Hell was my private hell.
- poorogue15. August 2026Incoherent as hell. 90 minutes of flashing pink/purple/blue lights while people pose. Very little dialogue. Last 20 minutes is the whole movie and the only part that even matters. Only reason I watched this was because Sophie Thatcher was in it, but the director completely destroyed her ability to act with the terrible writing.
- Hipster ZOMBIE28. Juli 2026“Her Private Hell” is almost critic proof. Like a retro Giallo horror film, this film is light on story and big on neon light illuminating mist surrounding a futuristic city inhabited by beautiful people being stalked and murdered by mysterious assailant known only as “The Leather Man.” The film follows Elle played the amazing Sophie Thatcher who is running out of time trying to find her father as the mist surrounding the city seems to want to trap her in its haze so the Leather Man can claim her as his next victim. Across the city is an American GI named Private K who is desperate to find his daughter. Actor Charles Melton brings a quiet intensity to the role that has you questioning whether he motivations are heroic or underlined by evil intentions. Beyond that the film is like trying to explain a fever dream after waking up in a bathroom stall in a club where the DJ is just barely getting into his most aggressive beats in his set. Visually this film is so easy to fall in love with. The musical score also stays with you by creating a sonic dreamscape that alternates between old Hollywood glam to the blistering beats of a nightclub rave. If I were to simply judge this film based off its storytelling, it gets an incomplete because most of the things that go on and actions the characters take make little to no sense. However this is a Nicolas Winding Refn film who is famous for his Ryan Gosling’s “Drive” and despite being visually and audibly fantastic also suffered from a wonky script with weird dialogue and no dialogue choices. So I’m split down the middle on this one. Parts of it I love and there are times I’m was looking at my phone wondering what the hell is going on.
- SirMonkalot19. Juli 2026This was so WEIRD but at the same time so great! It’s been a while since I’ve seen a movie that looked this good! The set designs, the costumes, just everything was so damn pretty. The story was pretty cool and how it was presented was super weird but honestly, whenever my brain was like “man this is fucking weird, what am I watching?!”, I would just get distracted by the pretty pictures and all was well in the world. I was genuinely entertained and the action scenes, though very few, were pretty dope. Definitely not for everyone, watch at your own risk!
