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.
导演无论怎么瞎说
全剧独白太多了，感情的刻画实在太少了，每一个片段能体现出来的情感真的不多，有一种《阿甘》似的影子，又又一种《返老还童》似的影子，但是总感觉哪里缺了点什么，体会不到哪里感人的点，男女主的感情羁绊只有小时候的几个片段，也都是独白构成的，男女主又像胡歌演的《猎场》似的，两人互相思念互相爱恋，但却就是无法在一起。 男主的很多事情的动机也实在搞不清楚，为何最后要去漂泊？？最后叙事的讲述了男主的一生，像是快进片！
不过 片子很好 下回别拍了
欢迎回家。
感觉应该是个好故事，可能因为审查原因，有基因代孕等敏感话题，有点可惜了，没有拍好，浪费了好演员
完全是两个故事缝合起来的，看起来着实有点割裂…
“那场地震，就像一个怪物，我们无法抗衡……也改变了所有人的命运。”电影中的每一个人都与东日本大地震有关，虽然有幸存活，但是经受着亲人离世的痛。一起取暖挺好的，然而惠姨的死，再次改变了两个年轻人的命运。看到这里，白夜行在眼前飘过，看到最后，原来白才是那个黑。关于福祉的话题，有点韩国电影的味道，质问法律，公务人员成了压死需要帮助的人的最后一根稻草。然而，错又不能全怪他们。而惠姨的私心，却是万万没有想到的，倒不是说她利用了两个孩子，反正让人很不舒服。毕竟他们用各自的一生来守护那四个字，“欢迎回家”。
每个主角的表演都非常漫画 日影真的应该解决这种奇怪的漫画感 哪怕是这种非常现实主义的作品 也无法摆脱这种质地 虽然不能将灾难做比较 但在今天看这个故事 确实让我觉得片中这种苦难甚至很奢侈
结合疫情有一些新思考，纵有再多智慧，自然面前的人类是何其渺小。
背景和观点都不错，但故事太牵强了，怎么可能一小姑娘独立杀了两大男人，即使有电击枪。
我总觉着，人的生命还很漫长
这种题材的犯罪片，如果让韩国人来拍，估计能上8分。
題材和卡司都很好，開頭也不錯，但後面有點無聊了。劇情平鋪直述步調慢，沒什麼吸引點。最大亮點是清原果耶
看名字我以为是返老还童，结果先看了十分钟旁边配画面儿童剧，然后就是复古风甜蜜蜜但比甜蜜蜜差十万八千里，两个人物毫无灵魂，尤其王传君，结尾去搞干细胞都快给我整笑了，这是完全不值得拍出来的一部戏，只有烂尾缝针那段有点小趣味，但，竟然能做到和主题毫无关系
前半段的年代爱情跟后半段的带点奇幻色彩的对生死的思考有些太割裂了，感觉有些没有抓住重点。
应该哭的地方却用了旁白，真的太毁情绪了，搞得王传君这角色从电影开始呆到结束。反倒是萌萌演得最好，角色也很饱满，自己研究迟迟没有成功，目送着自己的父亲和朋友离去，最后疯到拿自己试药，但是疯得合理。电影割裂感挺严重的，分开来都可以是两个故事了。
看得人怪难受的。。。（佐藤健现在跟龟梨和也也太像了吧。。。
宽叔真的好帅，但是为什么总是站着满眼泪光呢？故事有点牵强吧，都过了那么多年，为什么选这个时候出手呢？
暴露了社会派推理的短板，推理部分过于幼稚，导演在社会问题层面又拍得格局很小。两边都不成功。
3.5。女主全片最佳，几个不同阶段均发挥出色。头一个死者也不算是个坏人吧，为啥经常皮笑肉不笑搞得像个该死的坏人，这样或多或少影响了影片想要表达的深度。
