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.
气氛太到位了，还有细节。学习圣经时的手指摩擦触碰，洗手间隔间的从背后拥抱，太让人心动啦。多亏了这个真理教，让通篇充满了禁忌感，尤其是那个在浴缸受洗（doi）非常刺激。开始把杰米塑造的很不良，抽烟逃课，结果玛丽卡才是最疯批的那个。最后挽留杰米时说的那段话简直了。看到结局我知道了，玛丽卡只是想要一个捐精人，最后都是计划好的。开着车带着孩子和杰米远走高飞！（后备箱肯定行李都收拾好了X
依旧的清水美食，平平淡淡，但比电视剧多了更多恋爱的感觉，总算像个家庭而不是搭伙过日子了，两个人互相照顾互相担心的小日常也是羡慕，中老年生活也算有了点盼头，但是为啥连亲都不能有一个？
主动的是M，先剪断这根线的也是M，最后要重新拾缀往事的还是M，这个角色到最后的自我认知混乱导致这个人和这段感情显得好悲剧。J，心痛过后学会了自洽，身边有了新女朋友，桌子上却还原位保存着M当年送的陨石碎片，心里还是有余温的，我愿称之为《女拉子的终身拉扯》。个人感觉片子本身并没有推荐得那么精彩，高中时代的感情我已经无法relate了，多一星给配乐。还有最后M带着宝宝的那一幕很刀人，relate一点点。
拥有心爱的人，而那个人也喜欢自己，真好哇真好！！！
从“I love you ”开始就憋不住眼泪，中间断续哭了三次。直到最后两句对白，终于号啕大哭。上次这样为爱掉眼泪，还是为自己的初恋。太相似的青春期肉痛感觉。二十年倏忽而逝。 //本片可见姬片的进步脚步，是在前人不断学习和累积的基础之上的
她说“我去了欧洲，去年夏天。” 她哽咽了一下回“我知道。”然后从包里拿出一堆明信片“你阿姨给我的。” “都读过了吗？” “差不多一万遍吧。”她还是哽咽“和我们想象的一样吗？” 她定了定神点了点头 然后深情看着她说“你也在场就好了。”
虽然没有大改电视里插播做饭的流程 但是故事意外的有点沉重和小深刻 当然是建立在一些角色动机的改动上就是
天哪 T^T 影院那段莫名开始狂哭(꒦⌓꒦ ) tension简直
真不错，很纯欲，感情线好流畅啊，两人之间的火花完全能溅到观众身上，加上宗教线以后人物形象更加丰满了，虽然Jamie很讨喜，但是Marik的勇敢更可贵啊。喜欢！
史郎是直男吧( •︠ˍ•︡ ) 最后樱花树下吃便当真美呀
没什么感觉….拉拉的痛苦故事看过太多了，只要不死人我都能接受。女性角色都是美女耶舔舔
听说是低配版的《违命》，可是这个同样的，或者说，更年轻的气息，都让人喜欢得要命。
很平淡，但你会相信他们一定会永远在一起，直至老去。
厕所背后抱和浴缸洗礼太美了，吻脖子吻下巴真的好温柔，不喜欢这种宗教题材自带的压抑气氛，两个人每次贴贴的时候我都屏住呼吸害怕有人突然出现（🙄️最后十分钟好致郁，看到小孩出现在后座那里真的想晕倒…anyway，女主好灵，像永远不会say no的大狗勾。
我愿你拿着细细的皮鞭，不断轻轻打在我身上。
本人的年度最佳！！！不仅是故事很吸引人，两位女演员之间的火花简直烧到了我的心里😭宗教信仰、婚姻孩子都不足以成为阻碍，只需要一句想念我们就能一起奔赴新世界😭看到最后泪流不止，一想到本单身狗顿时更想哭了，我的Marike你在哪里？(╥﹏╥)
"I think about you all the time, about us. Do you?" "Every day." “两个女孩子的交往和大多数人的经历都差不多，初见的惊鸿，相处的融洽，爱恋从懵懂到每天想你无数遍。”
西岛秀俊，梦中情男！！怎么会有这么帅这么温柔的人，他一笑我真的整个化掉！好爱这部剧，我可以看他们幸福生活一辈子，美食环节也很加分！看到善良的两个人彼此爱护彼此珍重，平淡又美好地生活着，幸福得让人要哭，甚至有点难过……相互误会的情节太可爱了哈哈哈，内心活动笑死我了。两人演技绝绝绝！配角也都很招人喜欢。
日本电影总是拍的温馨又日常，让人充满生存的食欲。生活中绝对少不了日剧这种调味剂。
好一对相敬如宾举案齐眉的璧人 越看越觉得这就是bros吐槽的那种"love is love is love"story
