Her & Him is a 2019 adult film directed by Bella Thorne and starring Abella Danger and Small Hands.

The film received numerous industry awards. Including nominees AVN Awards for Best Actress and Best Actor. Bella Thorne received a nomination for Best Dramatic Screenplay at the 37th AVN Awards in 2020.[1][2][3] It was shown at the 2019 Oldenburg International Film Festival and then released on Pornhub's Premium service.

Plot

Her & Him is the third entry in Pornhub's Visionaries Director's Club, a series of movies where Pornhub to invites guest celebrity directors to “diversify porn production.”[4] Her & Him was written and directed by former Disney child star Bella Thorne and premiered at the Oldenberg Film Festival in Germany prior to streaming on Pornhub Premium.[5][6]

According to Bella Thorne, she originally conceived Her & Him as a Christmas horror movie before the project morphed into an adult movie. Apparently, Her & Him had morphed into an adult film prior to Corey Price, the Vice President of Pornhub, coming on as an executive producer for the short film. Her & Him is a narrative-driven short film.[7] Small Hands plays an unnamed character who is dating an unnamed girl played by Abella Danger. One day he finds out that she has been looking up how to murder your boyfriend and get away with it. The two then play a twisted game of cat and mouse while he tries to figure out if she is really trying to kill him.[8]

Production

The film was produced by Pornhub with the help of producers Corey Price, Sami Reinhart and Jen Stein. All music in the film is by rapper Mod Sun and oversaw by the films music supervisor Dina Juntila. The film was shot by camera operators Carlos Benavides and Leslie Satterfield director of cinematography was Bianca Butti. The film was edited by Brennan Pierson and Malgorzata Grzyb.[9][10]

Reception

Critical response

Her & Him received overall positive reviews from critics. Thorne's directing, vision as well as the cinematography and music were among strong points for the film.[11] One reviewer on AdultDVDTalk said: "Her & Him is a fantastic adult short film from writer and director Bella Thorne. Her & Him is well-crafted and works beautifully in the short film format. The short film is plot-heavy and graphic sex light; however, the short film builds the eroticism to the boiling point before the graphical sex is unleashed on the viewer. Pornhub has done an excellent job with their streaming-only edition of Her & Him with excellent image and sound quality." The plot for Her & Him is exceptional, as Small Hands twists in the wind, unsure of what his girlfriend is up to, the viewer twists with him. Bella Thorne does a great job of building the dramatic tension in Her & Him as the short film progresses. As the dramatic tension keeps amping up, Bella Thorne also amps up the sexual tension in the short film. Small Hands and Abella Danger both kill in their roles. They both do an excellent job with the non-sexual portions of the short film and the sexual portions.[12]

Decider.com said in a review: "What they have in common is a high quotient of drama, the endlessly compelling motivational force behind so much of Thorne’s explosive output. Regardless of the format, regardless of platform, regardless of medium, a work by Bella Thorne can only ever be that — a work by Bella Thorne, nothing more and nothing less."[13] In addition Jezebel said "Is this a visionary masterpiece from a 22-year-old who has never before made porn, and who, due to her mainstream fame, waltzed right into the industry and got to work with two of its top talents right off the bat? I am not at all convinced! I wish celebrities like Thorne would take their porn dalliances more seriously by giving the genre its due and respecting the art of arousing viewers, instead of treating it like a film school experiment and personal branding exercise."[14]
