A look at what happens when partners from different social backgrounds engage in physical relationships.

MY TAKE

Like Crash, Traffic, and a number of similarly styled films, the many stories in 360 share a thematic thread, but this one is looser than most. The film also unravels a bit at the end, undermining what should have been a tense dramatic moment with a light and goofy score. The visual treatment using reflections and seamless split-screens does grease the story along, but when the film finally comes full circle, it stops short of saying anything profound.
