The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R.
（三星半）前半段有点脱力以为这是给华裔看的电影，后半段疫情出现才回到正轨。疫情时代让很多人被迫重新审视家庭关系，在摘掉牙箍之前，它会划烂你的牙膛，割破你的舌头，可再痛的伤口也会愈合，生活如初植物生芽，四把挂在门上的雨伞，风吹动风铃，叮叮当当那是回家的声音。
“云雷戟”与“落星石”
虽然这是一部关于成长的电影，但重点讲述的是家庭关系。
叙事四平八稳，不温吞，也没有太刻意的戏剧化冲突。面对生命流逝摇摇欲坠，家庭关系紧张碰撞，大环境焦虑恐慌，林嘉欣的表演非常细腻，收放自如，隐忍的，狂躁的，无奈的，崩溃的，都处理的很到位，很难不对她共情。
3.7）我真的觉得国漫的技术制作已经非常精良了，就不能多花点心思在剧本上吗？明明动画的发挥空间要大得多，却一点也没跳出传统烂俗故事的套路
没想到一部动画电影 让我找回了小时候 看武侠电影的那种久违了很久很久的心潮澎湃
剧情千疮百孔，打斗天马行空。国产动漫作品在动作设计方面做到如此程度，不知给真人电影带来了几许压力。只不过剧情的铺垫与主题的阐析还是差了些，侠以武犯禁成了一个阐之未明、高悬于顶的概念。

没有看过剧集版，直接看剧场版，被里面的武打设计惊艳到，如果剧集也是如此那真是用心了，这个武打动作设计放到大银幕看效果也不差。主创也尝试在融入更复杂的武侠世界观，没有二元对立的绝对恶人，只有观念相同但实施方法不一样的江湖人，以至于每个角色都有值得深挖的多面性。主创说要打造江湖群像，这种鲜明的群像让人想起港产武侠片，每一个配角背后都有一片宇宙。
4星。优点跟剧集一样，画风，音乐，打斗都没得说。把剧集中人物拿出来单独讲故事，还讲得不错。
你就会聪明一点，
蛮动人的。林嘉欣真的很不错啊，妹妹也让我好喜欢
这画风和这打斗画面，武侠感拉满，这是一部小小的网络制作动画，却蕴含着大大的江湖道义。
动作设计的不错，动画虽不够细腻，却很有风格。
非常普通，节奏也稀疏平常。但就是这些对话和细节唤醒了那场非典的记忆。爱和恨是一体两面，键盘里敲出我恨你妈妈，实际想说出的是“妈妈你不要死”。小演员演得都很好，林嘉欣反而有些匠气。
枕刀歌之尘世行打戏节奏、动作设计得真的可以用完美来评价。酣畅淋漓，以文入武，以武代文，文戏武戏毫无拖沓，真差不多是从头打到尾了。再和今天的真人剧一对比高下立判。片中干脆利落，甚至人物的死都干脆利落，导致武艺的流失，高手的落败，谜团永远也解不开让人惋惜。例如西门仁最后想给红娘施展真正的梨花枪，却被一戟砍死。他的身世以及真正梨花枪法目前是不会被观众得知细节了。这种残缺的丢失的部分缺恰巧成为了一种类似佛家成坏败空的哲学观点，西门仁死时说世无英雄遂使竖子成名，墙倒众人推着实让观众唏嘘。
很多动作其实真人都做不出来的 违反物理定律 当然制作很认真 鼓励 剧情也不是单纯的好人坏人
p.s.其实最后一句“妈妈很爱你 你知道吗？很爱很爱”没必要，打破了全片隐忍和紧张的平衡感，芳仪问完“你不要死好不好”直接开始空镜感觉比较好。
很细腻的故事！不觉得故事结尾母女是真的解开了心结，甚至一家人的矛盾也并没化解。但一家人的生活正是如此，时而怒目而视，时而又突然温柔以待。这一家人的房子和我当年在台北租的那间太像了，甚至连地点都没差太远，难免让人有恍惚之感。
没想到能在一部国产动画看到这么原汁原味的江湖，虽然剧情方面颇为薄弱，但是犀利畅快的打斗让人热血沸腾，特别是击杀敌人瞬间转换的水墨风和绽放的鲜血真是加分，叶清张艺赵恩宇黎泓何的配音真是梦回90年代的TVB武侠世界，妥妥的回忆。
