Childhood friends play a lifelong game of dares, using outrageous stunts to mask their intimate, romantic connection.

Darkly comic. A date-night pick at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.

What is Love Me If You Dare about?

As adults, best friends Julien and Sophie continue the odd game they started as children -- a fearless competition to outdo one another with daring and outrageous stunts. While they often act out to relieve one another's pain, their game might be a way to avoid the fact that they are truly meant for one another.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

Bittersweet. It earns its ending, but not everyone gets what they want.
