I'm just gonna post the first paragraphs of two that contain no spoilers and truly dig into both the movie and into the director quite fiercely. And, their quite funny to read.
“Her Private Hell“? More like our public misery.
If, for David Lynch, ideas are like fish in a river, then for Danish provocateur Nicolas Winding Refn, those ideas are like chunks of excrement in an exploded sewage pipe. His first feature since “The Neon Demon” 10 years ago and after allegedly dying for 25 minutes in 2023, the neon-drowned, anguishingly languid and abstruse “Her Private Hell” feels like you’re dying (and very, very slowly) for a soporific hour and 49 minutes. With ghoulish visuals, a coughed-up script in which Refn appears to pastiche only himself, and performances that even at their best just die onscreen under the portentous weight of the filmmaker’s dreadfully detached vision, it’s one of the most miserable theatrical viewing experiences in years."

"Three years ago, Danish auteur Nicolas Winding Refn died for 20 minutes. When returned to the world of the living, the director felt as if he was experiencing everything anew, including a burning desire to make films. This biblical wiping of what came before might be the only explanation for “Her Private Hell,” a film that unspools as a curious allegory for the artificial intelligence era in how it seems constructed by a machine fed to the brim with the work of NWR and able only to spit out a hollow carcass of yesteryear brilliance."

And, good for them; the team behind the hilarious, sometimes hyper-local, Americana at Brand Memes is writing a moving about criminals who stole NFTs of 2007 Kia Sedona minivans. Even as dumb as that is, we are talking million in stolen funds. Read more about it at the Hollywood Reporter
