Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Jul 20, 2012
This umpteenth variation on Schnitzler's classic play La Ronde fails to arouse. Go to Full Review Sara Stewart New York Post Jul 19, 2012
1.5/4
In "30 Beats," the conversational foreplay is hopelessly flaccid. Go to Full Review Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times Jul 19, 2012
2/5
Despite the presence of such actors as Lee Pace, Jennifer Tilly, Justin Kirk, Thomas Sadoski and Paz de la Huerta, there is no character insight allowed by the bumper-car storytelling. Go to Full Review Kelly Vance East Bay Express Aug 2, 2012
A date movie for narcoleptics. Go to Full Review Dan Kaufman Paste Magazine Jul 26, 2012
5.9/10
As an experiment, 30 Beats is an uneven, if not entirely uninteresting, failure. In its attempt to be modern and titillating, it actually distances and confounds. Go to Full Review Robert Levin amNewYork Jul 23, 2012
1.5/4
The characters are props in what's essentially a lame screenwriting exercise. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

don s @RT97868663 Nov 5, 2014 An awkward tale of sex during a supposed heat wave in NYC. The heat wave has nothing to do with anything. A couple has sex, then we follow one of the participants to another encounter. After that sexual escapade, we follow the partner to another bout of sex, etc. until we come full circle back to the 2nd partner in the first scene. Boring beyond belief. Nothing titillating in any of it. Some nudity by Vahina Giocante is nice though. See more Sep 13, 2013 Wow! This is bad. I kept it on just to see if it could get worse. And, guess what, it did! It's like any Cinemax (Skinemax!) soft core porn show, with all the bad acting and zero plot. But, none of the sex! See more May 3, 2013 30 Beats has the feel of a low budget movie. There are interesting things in the lot, especially the psychic experience, but overall, the acting is subpar, the editing awkward, and logic is not always there to meet us. If you've got some time to spare and you like scenarios that present a patchwork of life, this might be for you. See more Mar 24, 2013 An enjoyable story that connects them all in the end. It was worth a watch, but it will never need to be repeated. See more Feb 17, 2013 Odd movie about the passions of the person See more Dec 22, 2012 but what does '30 beats' mean?
