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.
开心时就要大声笑，吃东西的时候就要大口吃，吃的胖胖的。
小朋友说在家里看到坏坏的地方最恐怖。脸上画了符不仅不恐怖，反而很好笑。让人想到哈哈台。
在同影的基础上融入了形婚、出柜、领养、宗教等多种议题，以啼笑皆非的方式将如此曲折的故事演绎到淋漓尽致，非常出彩。前半段铺垫很好，各种说谎、隐瞒与重重机缘像极了许多深柜的「日常行为」。直到苏米「被发现」，电影便落入到了核心的主题升华。沙杜尔对家人的「真诚告白」、打给苏米的电话以及与妈妈的深情相拥，不仅拉回了我对其之前所败光的一切好感，也同时为有相同境遇的「形婚夫妻」做了一次方向指导。最后导演以「骄傲月」的彩虹大游行收尾，等于向全世界展现着一个多元、进步、包容的新印度。或许他们还有很多不足，但却一直在朝着理想化自由化的方向迈进，信念坚定，步履不停。
剧情还可以，好几个笑点都让我拍腿了，结局有点突然，觉得这样继续婚姻领养孩子不太好。
虽然表达方式的喧闹和合家欢形式的 但内核却是现实而悲伤的 甚至越喧闹就越悲伤。抛去印度现在也能直面这个话题之外 男主的直男思想设置以及家族形形色色的反应都没有落入俗套 反而显得真实。
在戏剧和现实之间，结局选择了“立意更高”的陈腔滥调，相互妥协，各不得罪，一应俱全，也就那样。
结尾男主加入游行队伍的场景真的好触动我哦，拉拉线我真的太爱了东亚裔妹子长的好在我审美点上啊
宽容度满分，情节无新意节奏缓慢，剧情从一小时以后就变连续剧。不过可以公映，也反映了当地的文明进程吧
印度🇮🇳电影🎦与时俱进的好看开始高分喜剧电影🎦先睹为快！
四星，一星给女主，演的太好了。不过视觉上我觉得有点杂烩，梗太明显了，虽然我也不是没有吓到，（我很好吓的主要是）但是这个中西结合大杂烩有点下头。我更喜欢南巫那种风格，更东亚。
女一女二演技都不太好，特别是女二简直了……凡是只有她俩的戏绝对会很无聊，这点和男主一比贼明显……不过也可以说导演处理得不够好，依赖演员程度很高
对男性的吐槽好到位，是gay之前还是男的~~爹跟比女儿还小的女的调情倒不觉得羞耻？反倒是女儿找了可爱女友羞耻、、
一个gay 一个lesbian，在家人的催婚压力下假结婚，在家人的催生压力以及家长的入户监视下败露，一个被动、一个主动，双双出轨。虽然花点时间，好在家人最终都理解支持了。两人在领养孩子的法律压力下维持形式上的婚姻。
3.5吧，玩得还是很早期的同志问题讨论，只是放在了印度这个宗教国家显得比较出挑。
印度拍出来为同性恋正名的电影，在这个片神奇的国度上，单冲这份勇气，就值得多一颗星。
2.5星，一般般。剧情比较套路，一点惊喜都没有。难道就因为印度的LGBT现状比国内好就宽容的给高分?
说实话不如之前看过的那些印度电影更出色，讲故事的水平一般般，但是重要的大概是它的取材吧。在印度这样一个社会，两对同性恋最终得到了家里人的接受，并领养了孩子，这一切因为最后的包容和爱而让人内心感动
有趣 真实 真诚 能有这样的电影狠狠羡慕了 p.s.男女主各自的cp都好好嗑啊真不戳

三，剧情虽然是比较俗的，但真的不容易。而且第一次发现印度电影里竟然全年穿厚衣服帯围巾，一查，故事是发生在喜马拉雅山下的台拉登（Dehradun），不再是印度电影湿漉漉的炎热风格，未来再去印度一定要去下这个城市
