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.
视线感官的双重拉扯,加上剧情人物的撕裂感
翻拍翻拍再翻拍。远远不如最初的韩版《走到尽头》，甚至不如中国翻拍的《破·局》。
很显然，主要的情节似乎是翻拍自韩国的哪部电影。
女演员颜值还不错，只有这个还不错而已。打情色擦边球的电影，没什么意思。
很烂 很讨厌这种矫揉造作的女主人设和电影风格 男主在床上的镜头比较帅
台灣拍的文藝片確實還是很有特色。尤其是那種慢節奏的精緻，把孤獨的情感一絲一絲地剝開，冷酷而輕柔。女主角幾乎全素顏出演，反而讓內藴的氣質張揚，男主角邪邪的笑透露出一種孤獨的善良。豆瓣給2星的人那麼多，實在是不識貨。
没有惊喜也不至于及格线以下，很典型的一部“假如女主换人我下辈子也不会点开一秒”的流水片，只是可惜leighton在线的状态演技脸蛋身材统统浪费在无处施展的本子里，除了哭就是崩溃我更担心她拍戏时期的精神负担。。想念like sunday like rain。好想亲亲她的锁骨；；最后有些人留点口德吧，一位35周岁孕育了两个孩子的母亲还指望她和十四年前一模一样的人到底用什么思考啊??

马上就马了。一般。还是温贞菱比较可爱，阳光普照。
还可以，2星肯定冤枉他了。台湾导演一般都非常杂乱，拍得很长，但这个导演一个半小时，把控还是可以的。
一般般，我还以为女主是凶手，竟然是她老公，太俗套了
剧情挺紧凑的 只是每一次反转有点禁不起推敲 做个下饭的电影还是可以的 Queen B变化太大了 岁月催人老啊 青春的颜值巅峰已经不在了
剧情比较紧凑，queen B长胖了，还是挺好看的
就……挺扯的，5.5吧，就怪扯的，Zain到底是男一还是男二，感觉就是个工具人，强行推动剧情。各种反转的头都晕

算是一部小品吧。法国电影永远是这德行，对权力机关极。不信任
男人这么喜欢偷情为什么要结婚？偷情怕曝光然后杀人，好歹跟你一夜夫妻百日恩。
总要生出悲天悯人的气质才好呢
网飞的爆米花电影，影片中的风景还是不错的，片子加点激情戏应该能上6分！
皮条客与小姐以及富豪小三的故事。
