'' Are you game?''

Are you game?

''Tell me that you love me first because I'm afraid that if I tell you first you'll think that i'm playing the game.''

A story of two best friends, Julien and Sophie who we see journey through life. Starts of in their childhood and their seemingly playful game in which they dare each other with a rustic tin. The game continues throughout their adult life and begins to spiral out of control, and a hidden love undeclared.



Marion Cotillard who plays Sophie; I last saw her in ''La Vie en Rose'' and this film also proves what a versatile actress she is.
Guillaume Canet who plays Julien is equally impressive and displays dazzling emotion and fiery temperance.
Thibault Verhaeghe and
Joséphine Lebas-Joly also deserve a mention who play Julien and Sophie as children.

Such vast imagination and an obssessive daring game. Wonderfully surreal and some of the scenes will shock.
Visually it's shot excellently and some very clever effects jumbled together that tell the story well.

It's a long story and how far the two go to outdo each other is compelling. When you get to it's ultimate conclusion, ''The Dare of Dares'' the film cleverly let's your mind decide what conclusion to make.
A classic example of how dangerous a game can be and the complicated entanglement that is love.

'' Are you game? , well the answer has to be without a doubt YES!
