What a wonderful and demented love story!

| Original Score: A | Jun 21, 2007

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

It twinkles itself right into a rubber room.

| Dec 7, 2004

For his feature film debut, director Yann Samuell mainlines into Amelie for inspiration but can scarcely muster a contact high.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 3, 2004

Has a gimmicky, inventive style like Amelie, but the comedy has a very nasty edge.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 19, 2004

Movie characters don't have to be nice, but they do need to be interesting. Nastiness without intrigue translates, in whatever language, to 'annoying.'

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 10, 2004

The dreamlike amber washes and comic visual asides stress the otherness of the pair's reality, but seem to offer a limp excuse for their deluded exemption from empathy.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 9, 2004

Love Me If You Dare presents a...cynical and often downright cruel perspective on relationships, though the film's bubbly look keeps it from becoming too dark.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 21, 2004

Samuell's naivety and inexperience lead to this being an uncomfortable, if intriguing, mess.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 19, 2004

Entertaining and appalling at once, an exercise in aesthetics that replaces the traditional unities with paradox, irony and cynicism.

| Aug 8, 2004

A romantic dark comedy that'll have you scratching your head anew at what [the French] considers entertainment.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 8, 2004

Ultimately, viewers will have to ask themselves if they're game; those who are will be in for quite a ride.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 6, 2004

The story was so artificially sour that it seemed ludicrous, unimportant and unbelievable.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 4, 2004

It doesn't point toward a new way to live our lives; it smugly applauds the 'radical' choices of one self-absorbed, sociopathic boy-girl couple.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 2, 2004

Saved by the performances of Canet and Cotillard, who find the desperate romantic yearning beneath their characters' selfish and cruel behavior.

| Jul 2, 2004

Gag me with a croque monsieur.

| Jun 25, 2004

Samuell has his gorgeous but borderline-psychopathic characters devise nasty pranks that not only strike each other in the hearts but inflict much collateral damage.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 18, 2004

Melds the magic of childhood memories with the pain of unrequited love.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 17, 2004

Provides an enjoyable ride, even if style wins out over substance.
