Plot Summary

Massimo, a young Sicilian Mafia boss, is driven by the abduction of Laura Biel, a Polish saleswoman, who he has been obsessed with for years. He gives her 365 days to fall in love with him, and if she doesn't, he will let her go. Amidst the luxurious backdrop of Sicily, Laura attempts to escape his grasp, but finds herself increasingly drawn to her captor.

Critical Reception

365 Days received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics, who largely condemned its gratuitous sexual content, nonsensical plot, and problematic themes, particularly its romanticization of kidnapping and Stockholm Syndrome. Audiences, however, showed significant interest, likely driven by its explicit nature and its performance on streaming platforms.

What Reviewers Say

  • Criticized for its shallow plot and exploitation of sensitive themes.

  • Labeled as a poor imitation of Fifty Shades of Grey with a more disturbing premise.

  • Noted for its explicit sex scenes, which did little to salvage its overall quality.

Google audience: While some users appreciated the film's visual aesthetic and steamy scenes, a significant portion expressed disappointment with the simplistic storyline and the controversial romanticization of a forced relationship.

Awards & Accolades

Nominated for multiple Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay.
