If a game is sharp, is it sharp for both players?

A game is described as 'sharp' when it becomes very easy for a player to make an inaccurate move since there are only a very few moves that are correct.

But, assuming that both players are of the same level (Against Carlsen, all games are sharp!) I wonder if it's the case that a sharp game must be sharp for both players? That is, is it necessarily sharp? Or most commonly sharp? Or even the opposite that a game that is sharp for one player is not sharp for the other?

What's the opposite of a sharp game? A dull one?
