Love Me If You Dare - Review

Best friends Julien and Sophie continue the outrageous game they started as children.

This unconventional love story follows the lives of Julien and Sophia, who are drawn to each other through emotional tragedies in their childhood. They don't seem capable of expressing their feelings in the usual way. Instead they play an escalating game of one-upmanship that involves the exchange of a tin music box (a gift to Julien from his dying mother). The one who takes the box has to commit some wild and crazy prank, and each new dare becomes more extreme and tragic.

Love Me If You Dare is a dark romantic comedy shot with extraordinary energy and high-speed editing. Its hyper-real, breathtaking fantasy sequences leave us with several possible interpretations about the couple's fate. This is a bold and challenging first film that forces us to reconsider our emotional connection within relationships. Enchantingly horrifying.
