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.
强行煽情吧，喜欢有妇之夫的女儿，吸毒弟弟，得大病 ，事业关键时刻怀孕，还有个阿兹海默的妈，真的够惨的。不过母爱是永恒的话题加上故事讲的还算完整，也能接受。
不喜欢看家庭片的原因是共情不了，老是看笑，无法打分啊。谢谢我爸妈啥也不管我，基本不索取，也为我尽到养育责任了。最好的就是，大家都不讲感情，只冷酷到底，一年打两次电话。电影本身，就是当老师的妈有的话都能理解那种。张婧仪不许再留短发了。
从别人妈妈那里学到了放块砖在马桶水箱会节约水资源的勤俭之道，不知道明天从外边儿掂块砖回家我们家吴女士会不会打哭我。
他被选中去南极的那天，发现自己环孕了，她选择了我
为什么2021年还在讲女性为家庭付出一切的故事呢？ 明白为什么票房很低了
很感人，感触颇多。很多时候就是快要失去的时候才懂得珍惜。
母亲为子女和家庭付出一生的题材看多了就麻木了，其他演员也算中规中矩稳定输出，倒是第一次看张婧仪的戏，有点小惊喜，就是台词能力还需要加强。
我六岁的女儿很喜欢这部电影，不知道GET到了什么，就我个人而言，这部属于值得一看的电影，也有接地气的地方，当然做作的地方也不少~
光是说到“妈妈”这个题材，都会让人充满深情。最后爸爸回答“你会想我吗”的时候，简直泪崩。想你是自然而然又不可遏制的事情。今天母亲节，祝福所有母亲平安健康，幸福快乐。
这个女人多少有点矫情发嗲，带着过多的个人风格色彩，影响了母亲的角色。剧情设定有问题，原生家庭和睦融洽，自己却甘当小三？和母亲相处愉快时又用力过猛，不大象中国式家庭。这么一个好男人，怎么感觉出场就像是出轨过的偷情油腻男？额，还需要进步。
3.祁同伟都开始演爸爸了，哈哈，年龄不饶人啊；
还是催泪。理解母爱从明白她们做出的选择开始。
改编自《世上最美的离别》
爱是枷锁，也是束缚
可怕，太可怕了。放弃事业生子是很伟大，但请不要宣扬成母爱就应该这样，而且这完全属于个人选择而不是儿女的选择，不代表她牺牲过就可以不尊重孩子。这妈妈对女儿的控制欲太让人窒息了，这种行为是因为生病就可以直接抵消成关心和爱的吗？当众直接扎辫子，随便翻手机，不打招呼就上单位，这真的有一点点尊重女儿吗？这么强势结尾还在煽情说妈妈想想你过自己想要的生活，你恨不得直接自己替女儿活了好不好？更恶心的是，最后女儿居然认同了，还以同样的所谓为你好的言辞去说服舅舅。另外，徐帆讲话真的太烦人了，给原本就惹人厌的剧情更添了几分嫌弃，这真的不是声音不好听，是她不好好说话，每句话都要带着超级嗲的语气词，一句话说出来总要哼哼唧唧的，从她和女儿吵架时候严肃让女儿站起来的那场戏能看得出来她会好好讲话，只是不愿意。
你再讨厌妈妈你身上也永远有她的影子，逃不开
感人的地方还可以。只是设定有点脱离现实。啥家庭啊，不干编导助理了就能改行直接上南极当记者？妈妈如果不得绝症。母女和姐弟之间是不是永远不能和解？非要等人不行了才开始强行努力互相理解吗？
【Good】#72# 哭了半部片的时间，独自在外地工作，最能体会到这些了。这部片是联合编剧，可不知道是谁想出来要塑造这么顽劣不知好歹的女儿形象，是为了可以制造矛盾吗？可以有，但是有点儿过量。不过这些演员的哭戏都是OK的，起码属于沉浸式表演比较娴熟，徐帆相比之前的《唐山大地震》《只有芸知道》已经自然很多了，许亚军更不用说。这部电影看完最大的感受就是对家庭责任感的思考，自己能承担什么；还有敬畏人生和生命，不要用别人的消极惩罚自己。
多少以爱为名的过度关心成为自由的枷锁，所有的牵绊都是在癌症患者身份显露后，才慢慢回过神来的，而生活里的常态是，母亲忍不住越界，女儿也无法停止反抗，双方都很难找到那个跳脱循环的出口。当生命进入倒计时，似乎一切都可以迎刃而解，过于明显的套路消减了情感本真的对撞，情感转折也可以是件很细小的事情。
