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.
就是你明明预知了这个梗还会笑的很开心的一个恶搞片。
篮球也就那么回事，但是这个运动员真的好帅啊救命，但凡在联盟里打得出彩点都可以粉一粉的程度（不是）
好看～训练和挑战那段酣畅淋漓 虽然有些套路 但不妨碍热血的坚韧～你要像一座冰山 漂在水上 撞沉船只！
选择相信眼前所见，做当下所以为正确之事。活得具体而鲜活，不论旁观者，总归对得起当下的自己。不妄论过去未来。
细节收的很好。前后呼应。我就喜欢法国人写荤段子毫不遮遮掩掩！君子坦蛋蛋。
猝不及防的搞笑啊，虽然很短，但真的很有趣！
融了超级英雄电影大大小小各种的梗
有几处笑点笑的非常开心，这样爆笑的电影不多了。
Classic coming of age storyline, nothing new, but it was actually really fun to watch.
可能因为语言问题，总觉得磕磕绊绊，还有较大上升空间
笑点很多，不是黑超英电影，单纯神经病恶搞，加上身份错位的正义感
好一出活力十足的闹剧，各种乌龙、玩梗、恶搞，笑点密集又不尴尬，比Netflix拍得大部分喜剧片都好。这是近年来最适合逃避现实的电影，特别适合当你心情低落的时候看。
恶搞好多，蝙蝠侠，小丑，漫威片头，银河护卫队，明日边缘，雷神，蜘蛛侠，x战警，金刚狼，星球大战，回到未来，加勒比海盗，猫女，玛丽莲梦露，碟中谍，复仇者联盟，斯坦李，自杀小队hhhhh还有巴黎圣母院 乳法日常还是得看法国人
很传统的故事套路，若是年轻的时候会很感动，但是经历多了，就觉得这样的故事只能是理想。
虽然还是套了个废柴儿子和强势父亲的壳，但中间的笑点哪怕是老梗也融地很不错。
前半段津津入味 可惜后半段有些优柔娇作 结局也不够Strong 但还是挺喜欢的 毕竟这么多NBA球星参演了 特别是AI
影片质量也就3星，但是对我来说真的很有梗很好笑。
我多复杂啊，我是所有之集合。眼前所见之我是当下之我，可窥见，无从判断。
剧情老套，但是没想到爱德华兹演技好，我费的电影，虽然最后埃尔南戈麦斯投敌了┌( ಠ_ಠ)┘
胡安在nba排不上号，但是相比于普通人已经很励志了，电影剧情是老套了些，但是拍的很热血，这可能就是属于年轻人的朝气吧。附：AI胖的我都没认出来🤣
