Her Private Hell resists interpretation, like so many of Refn’s recent films, but executes a slow dervish swirl of hypnotic strangeness.” — Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

“The genius of Her Private Hell is that, like a kind of visual ASMR, it offers nothing really concrete, just a lot of satisfying triggers and sensory associations… Is it pretentious? You bet! But it’s the kind of pretension that’s been missing for far too long in cinema… [it’s] either for you or it isn’t and you’re either for it or you aren’t. Either way, this is a film that demands you pick a side.” — Damon Wise, Deadline
