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.
好強的印度電影，甚少的嚴肅正劇（見識少 抱歉），有戲味有格調，女主眼神也非常銳利有力，歌舞也盡量是serve 劇情才出現（雖然仍有情情塔塔的），但也算是較內斂的Bollywood 。 唯獨港豬視覺還是離地的看異國面貌，沒有很理解甘古在做的事，也無法真心跟隨人民心聲地為妓女鼓掌，但認真思考過後還是是很容易認同與理解。維權，光鮮的世界的陰暗背面（或是文明的性慾），還是需要願意身體自主的女人在當中平衡，選擇或犧牲，孟買如是，世界每個角落如是，以黑暗掩藏黑暗
虽然大女主看得很爽，但脱离了现实，使得更像一部爽片，而不像现实主义电影
为女性权益发声的女权电影 很励志 很上进 很有感染力的电影 多年前看过一篇介绍原形的采访 我们要抛开原著看电影 用一种全新的眼光和认识去看
似传记也似小说
编剧功力在线，几处高潮部分的台词特别振奋人心，翻译成中文也很美。
细思恐极，女主被拐卖十二年后给家人打电话，从她阿妈的话语来看，分明知道女儿的遭遇，但充满了嫌弃和厌恶；倒是去世的父亲以不喝恒河水的方式纪念女儿。女人反而不理解女人，这是个什么社会？
电影一整个爽文设置，被卖进妓院最后做成女大佬。但是看了电影才发现，女主几次比较重要的转折都离不开男大佬的助力，总是倡导平权，但是在这部电影中完全看不到除去女主外再为女性发声的人了。最后也是只能girls help girls
虽然极度不喜欢印度这个国家，但不得不承认电影确实拍的好看，哪怕到现在还会一言不合就上大齐舞，然而也还是好看的，而且也从侧面看出人家演员业务能力是真的强，能演能唱能舞。话说女主的颜长在我的审美上，脸好小，真好看。印度电影男主女主颜值演技也是双在线。讲真，真的无愧于电影大国这个名号。我们也是电影大国，但没有比较就没有伤害…
但卖淫合法化真的不行
挺难与这样的经历有共鸣，甚至电影里的战斗场面也不是很有说服力，但是场景真的太美了，印度电影的歌舞也太浑然天成！
平时打分手太松，现在打五星无法体现看完后的心情了，只想再加五颗星。
对男人极度不信任+反感。由于她被男朋友卖了？
之前很多人讨论，代孕该合法吗，毒品该合法吗，今天看完后的我才有了清晰的概念。
玫瑰有很多颜色，我们可以是任何颜色。
能让黑帮大佬赏识且支持，在当下环境里已经是很牛的事情了。
女主角太好了 看向喜欢男孩的眼神 和说着痛死了的笑 永远为伟大女性唱赞歌！更有力气迎接明早了！
想看/前后两段我都可以接受吧，中间实在是有点不太理解……slb的女主一直都给我一种很奇怪的感觉，一方面有大女主玛丽苏的气质，一方面又好像总是在莫名其妙地牺牲着什么…局限在印度人思想里涉及女权的作品总是让人觉得有几分画虎不成反类犬的味道…对照印度现实更觉讽刺…alia演技不错，但比如开头还有后面几个部分我仍然觉得有点不足……整体画面开始是有点脏乱的华丽那意思的……后面就感觉一般
当个爽文看就行，歌舞场面很优秀，其它的其实很表面。
4.印象深刻是那个女人死掉了，甘古说把腿绑紧一点，男人不可信，即使是尸体也一样。
首先，我不赞同卖淫合法化。
