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.
母女矛盾在一半的时候就被妈妈得癌症给消解了，完全不知道后面一半在拍什么。
身为一个80后，刚好符合电影故事的年纪，父母面临退休，自己在另外一个城市挣扎，母亲的催婚，母亲的担忧，想要多一个理解母亲的角度，这电影必看
非常煎熬的两个小时，是有煽情的地方，但剧情也太平淡无趣如坐针毡了，所有人都窒息死了，还是个恐婚恐育宣传片。
整体表达的很老派，结尾处理的不够简练，但是至少视听语言及格了。婧仪这一部比之前表演有进步，继续努力。这部片子同时展现了亲情里很多不同的方面，有关于温情的时刻，有关于隔阂和矛盾的时刻，有互相理解的时刻，也有被排斥的时刻，但不管怎样，到最后，发现家和家人仍然是最重要的东西，仍然是人生被命运裹挟后，遇到难题的唯一出路与欣慰。蓦然回首，才发现人生路上最珍贵的，还是最初的美好的憧憬与心愿。
生硬且稀薄。即使用了〖妈妈〗这么宜煮宜食的材料，熬了2个钟头，米还是米，水还是水，不成粥样。
妈，这么多年来，你一直为别人在活，你觉得值吗？
诚挚细节还粗糙，多情柔情却寡情。
驾护航，但过度的关爱又会成为无形的枷锁。。。
《李焕英》如果是80后的妈妈，那这一部，就是90后的妈妈。
“上帝不能无处不在，所以创造了妈妈”。 可惜很多时候，我们并不知道妈妈是在人间的天使。 最坏的脾气只留给最亲的人，我们恼她伤她，妈妈却有着神奇的自愈功能，掏心掏肺，只要你好。养儿一百年，操心九十九。只可惜，有些妈妈中途就退场了，再也没有机会送女儿出嫁，送她走到人生的下一程。趁我们还是有妈的孩子，对妈妈好一点吧！听妈妈的话，别让她伤心。
4.每个人的青春都很美好，中老年就剩一地鸡毛吗
刚上线就看了，有点失望。拍得有点假，强行煽情的感觉。我能共情妈妈对女儿的过度约束让女儿感觉透不过气来，因为我妈也是这样；但是电影未免也把妈妈拍得太神经质了，实在是有点失真。电影想要表达的到底是什么？意思是难道不得癌症，女儿就一辈子不能理解妈妈，老公一辈子不会关心她？
晚上看了《关于我妈的一切》，好像选错了电影，在这样的时期不该看一部沉重的电影。还好这部片子拍得没那么好，母女间的感情衔接很尬，唯一的感动点是张歆艺炒火锅底料那一幕。人生在世谁没有满腔的牵挂与不舍，而谁又不是在生命尽头无奈地松开紧握的掌心？陈明昊和赵晓苏在里面都有戏份，尤其陈明昊，演了一个那么混蛋的角色，却起了个名字叫佩奇。[笑cry][笑cry][笑cry]
3.妈妈对女人说，工作想干板子就好好举，不想干就扔了。这句话对我这个还在为工作焦虑的人来说，太戳我心了！
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~
3.5 挺不错的，听说是改编韩国的，但本土化做的相当不错，表演也都在线，煽情稍微有点点过。
天下间妈妈都是一样的，操不完的心，或许应该有一天静下心来，和妈妈聊一聊，聊聊自己内心的想法吧。
开篇女主那么兴奋的抬头看气球，喊了老公一声，不理。端饭到桌上，老公才吃。我仿佛看到了关于我妈妈的一切，付出付出再付出，季佩轸代表了那个年代中国大多数的女性，结局女儿问她一直为别人活值吗？她说：这是我的选择。但是你不一样，妈妈希望你过你自己想要的生活。
4.每个人的青春都很美好，中老年就剩一地鸡毛吗
3.5分 重点片段确实感人涕下，整体上也比较完整，但就是感觉少了点什么…
