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.
C / 选择身体化与生动化来舍弃历史感未必是好的选择，尤其是同题材作品不少的当下。即便没有那些“切肤之痛”，「女人韵事」也可以摄人心魄。
7。还是差了口气，无论是题材，还是摄影，都没有新意，唯一让人眼前一亮的是女主的表演。
救市之作，低迷的电影市场需要刺激，开心麻花就是了，故事完整，笑点并不可笑，大多意料之中，仿版《火星救援》非严肃的处理方式，好在观众买账！
围绕60年代女性学生堕胎引发的生理心理双重创伤的故事。紧跟时事，一次转换性别的沉浸式体验。 本片一举拿下2021威尼斯金狮，最近几届的颁奖季影片越来越多地围绕女性及少数群体的当下所处困境。想到有些天真派的所谓电影、所谓音乐、所谓文学、所谓艺术，想脱离政治自立门户，无异于语言脱离了人，自说自话。 对待现实问题的批判，导演的力度恰到好处，难能可贵的是保持了相当程度的克制，既放又收，叙事一气呵成，这样的表达才具力量。 反观从60年代到2022的今天，问题从解决到反噬，新自由主义的大踏步向前，突破了矛盾的客观发展规律，最终还是迎来了虚伪的白左与宗教保守势力的强烈反扑。幸运的是，让拳师借不上力的是，这种大面积灾难，永远不可能发生在社会主义中国。
唯盼诸君共勉——
正发生水平结合现当下形势，达内兄弟变性达内姐妹，还能再拿两次金棕榈
是自己曾经最喜欢的那类电影，精湛的剧作让场景被无数的细节推动，又很擅长运用电影的手段（e.g.流畅的镜头内调度和反打特写之间的突变，低频的、接近心脏状态的声响效果），在局部显露那些情感的振荡、在整体揭示女孩内心和外部的迁移，让观众去真实地共情这个病态社会下的女性困境。这种文本和风格的高度统一，很容易联想起坎皮恩的手法（只是这次坎皮恩操作了一个心理结构）。至于一些更具体的所想，被一位友邻都写到了
电影七分，没有任何不敬的意思，但女孩子们还是别那么轻易跟人无套做，尤其是在一个打胎违法的国家
3.5，金狮奖这几年的作品趋于同化，除了19年的《小丑》，感觉都是一个路数的淡片。
关于宇宙，我知道一些；关于浪漫也是。我们永远无法理解整个星空正如我们也永远无法诠释浪漫。他们的命题都太难以阐述了，宇宙在于太大又神秘，我们将永远探索，理解且敬畏，究其一生；浪漫在于太小又私隐，可能就藏在饭后散步时我口袋里的一支玫瑰里，无处不在，又需要四目相对。那些故事藏在土星的星环里，你的睫毛间，马里亚纳海沟深处，你的指缝间。喜欢这部电影是因为，把宇宙和浪漫硬扯在一起，一颗星；你在身边一起看，四颗星，满分五颗星。
1960年的欧洲，女大学生已经在为性解放&私自堕胎，而引发的种种社会不公做着抗争。而在与此同时的东方大地，一批批的人却连最基本的温饱都顾不上了。这样的落差，让我怎么为你所宣扬的“平权”共情?

为什么我要拿整个人生为代价，我会恨死那个孩子一辈子！
喜欢的部分：男性的劣性未被隐形，以及真实的、切肤的疼痛。男性用欲望垂钓，女性用子宫咬钩，抽动的大腿根，搅碎的喘息，汗湿、泥泞、肮脏的血块。这些东西越直观越致命。离五星还差一口气，主要是前面确实比较平，而且也没堕胎的外阴特写。（突然怀念拉疯）
非常失望。正好可以对标同时期上映的《钛》。在上个世纪中期法国禁止堕胎的大背景下，女孩怀孕就等于走向绝境，所以这部片子也相当于对法国反堕胎法的一次宣战。总体的表达比《钛》温和，也更简单易懂，但代价就是各方面的强度都不够，没有推到极致，立意也稍浅了些。有意思的是女主Anne的三位男性朋友都跟女主做过爱，虽然有一位男生Jean稍微帮了一点忙，可总体来看还是女性之间的互助。最后流产的那段情节明显太收敛了。陈果在《饺子》里面也有相同的情节，《饺子》里的女生可是张开双腿坚持了十八个小时，最后痛不欲生，血流成河，悲惨地死在街头。所以在物理疼痛这方面，由于看过更痛的，这次就比较难共情。
六十多年过去了，整个父权社会环境在各个方面对于女性也并没有更好更合理许多，有形的无形的来自性别的压力仍无处不在。
痛感比钛强百倍 一种只会攻击女人的病 会把女人变成家庭妇女的病
泪流满面，太痛了，只有女性能懂的痛，只有女性会得的病。
科幻喜剧，这题材非常出色！！几个硬科幻剧情非常棒，绝处逢生好几次，最大遗憾是英雄最后没能归来，编剧功力还是欠缺一点点
