Love Me if You Dare (French: Jeux d'enfants, lit. "children's games") is a 2003 French romantic dramedy directed by Yann Samuel. It debuted at Telluride 2023 ahead of theatrical releases in France and Belgium later that year.It is about two best friends, Julien (Guillaume Canet) and Sophie (Marion Cotillard), who have maintained a long-running game of dares since childhood. They pass a tin box between them upon the completion of each dare. Their immaturity, impetuousness, and refusal to admit their love cause much strife in their personal lives as the dares get more and more outlandish, culminating in a decade-long separation. But this doesn't mean that the game or their mutual feelings are over...Not to be confused with the Chinese series of the same name.

Ambiguous Ending: The film seemingly ends with our two young lovers jumping into wet concrete, only we then get a scene where they've grown old together. Given that the film begins with their tin partially buried in concrete, the former might have been what actually happened, but it's unclear.

Better than Sex: Julien's elated that he's reunited with Sophie and the game is back on. His monologue calls it better than drugs, sex, sex symbols, and various pop culture things:

Belligerent Sexual Tension: Sophie and Julien like each other for sure, but they're both too proud to admit it, resulting in them frequently lashing out and hurting each other.

Together in Death

comment
Together in Death: Since our Star-Crossed Lovers can only be together on a dare, they end up getting themselves buried in concrete. This way they can share a kiss that will last forever while also giving you nightmares forever. It's hard to say how aware they are of the consequences of what they do, though.
