Inspired by Arthur Schnitzler's classic La Ronde, screenwriter Peter Morgan and director Fernando Meirelles' 360 combines a modern and dynamic roundelay of stories into one, linking characters from different cities and countries in a vivid, suspenseful and deeply moving tale of love in the 21st century. Starting in Vienna, the film beautifully weaves through Paris, London, Bratislava, Rio, Denver and Phoenix into a single, mesmerizing narrative.
'360' is classy but utterly amorphous, and that seemingly benign title gives far too much away.

Much like its own characters, it dithers too much - and it dares too little.

Though the cinematography looks sleek, with shots through windows and in mirrors, split screens and city lights that blur and sharpen, the stories equate to a tangled mess.

360 is a classic example of how you can't always judge a movie by its credits.

The film's generic, meaningless title is a sign of the dullness to come.
