Overview
- Her Private Hell premiered out of competition Monday at the Cannes Film Festival after NEON released a first teaser earlier in the day.
- Early coverage describes a polarized response with a reported seven-minute ovation for the team and many scathing reviews citing slow pace and opaque storytelling.
- Supporters praised the neon-soaked look and Sophie Thatcher’s performance, while detractors argued the movie lapses into self-pastiche.
- NEON set a July 24 U.S. theatrical opening with a moderate rollout planned for roughly 800 to 1,200 theaters.
- Cannes lists the 109-minute Danish production as starring Thatcher and Charles Melton with a score by Pino Donaggio, and its story tracks intersecting searches in a mist-shrouded city.
