Leave your thoughts about 360.
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerMorgan is a wonderful writer when he's working from the headlines, but his "personal" movies, like "Hereafter" and this one, release a bleary, pseudo-profound aspect of his talent that's best left in the dark. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisThere's no way to know what went wrong with 360 and whether it was this uninvolving and shallow from the start. |
| Film Comment MagazineViolet LuccaSpending 111 minutes watching people at the mall would be a more illuminating study of human behavior-and undoubtedly more entertaining. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo TuckerSome fine performances here, but the film seems too jumbled and pointless. |
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferAccording to 360 the world is united in broken dreams and wounded hearts. It's too bad that playing R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts" on a two-hour loop could have expressed the sentiment more effectively. |
| The PlaylistCory EverettIf the film had not been afraid to go a little darker (like its sexually frank opening), dig a little deeper, and develop its characters beyond their stereotypes, it would have been a much stronger effort. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyYou'd hardly recognize the inspiration of Arthur Schnitzler's 19th century play "Reigen," or its previous cinematic interpretations (by Max Ophuls in 1950 and Roger Vadim in 1964), in Fernando Meirelles somber take on "La Ronde." |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfMeirelles keeps the film humming along, braiding these strangers into a single display of yearning, albeit a craving that takes the occasional unsavory turn. |
| NPRElla TaylorMeirelles, who made the exciting "City of God" and "The Constant Gardener," has visual flair to burn. But he's less comfortable with inner lives than he is with feverish physical motion, and though the film is meant as a meditation on love and the post-modern psyche, it's shot like a thriller. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman360 has a circular structure that's deftly pleasing, though the human drama is just facile enough to make it seem, in the end, a little too much like connect the dots played with people. |
