There's an interesting idea about the way people assume wildly disparate personalities to please different sexual partners, but the flaccid execution of this promiscuous–New Yorkers circle jerk is more worthy of the clap than a round of applause. Read full review

Where the original play "La Ronde" was a social satire about the transmission of venereal disease, 30 Beats is a sickly stepchild. Read full review

Director Lloyd leaves it all to the imagination, but in a movie this slow and indecisive, the imagination is no longer enough when we've seen stronger stuff elsewhere. Read full review

While it lends itself to some interesting insight on the politics of non-exclusive, fuck-buddy dynamics, its characters are ultimately too one-dimensional and their dialogue too theatrical to sustain an involving cinematic experience. Read full review

This movie gets a 1 from me, cause it was pointless! If you want to hear random sex stories, just ask a friend with an active sex life.If you ask you`re friend he/she might even tell you about the actual sex, cause this movie does not even have sex scenes. A movie about sex with no sexThis movie gets a 1 from me, cause it was pointless! If you want to hear random sex stories, just ask a friend with an active sex life.If you ask you`re friend he/she might even tell you about the actual sex, cause this movie does not even have sex scenes. A movie about sex with no sex scenes? Like I said pointless. I stopped watching after an hour, I wish I stopped earlier.… Expand
