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.
狗尾续貂，为什么要有第二部…虽然不是真的有那么难看但就是太低龄太幼稚，一场流行歌曲串烧。
开头剧情有点无聊，来家里玩的2个小学生（一年级和高年级）都不怎么感兴趣，感觉一直在唱歌，6号下午自己看的，后面还行，就是哈士奇不管她爸了，我有点介意，U盘放不下了，13号下午一边做其他的事手机又放了一遍，虽然歌曲也挺多的，但不像看完第一部那样去下载片中曲，感觉看完就过了，结尾大白狼被警察抓走时，助理心碎地喊出 I love you，就跟前不久误杀2里面市长被抓时秘书长的表现有异曲同工之处，讲真我看网文都从来都不磕上司和秘书这种cp，毕竟打工人各种内心吐槽上司才更真实，不懂
关于时间的故事总能击中我的心，往事历历涌上心头，那么远又那么近
第一部主角团的塑造已经相当完善了，续集几乎没有他们可讲的空间，只能加入新的配角团来延续故事线，然而碍于主角们的存在，配角们的发挥也是处处受限，即便最后太空秀再炫酷，整体观影体验依然支离破碎。个人认为与其硬把前部角色搬上台，还不如打造全新的团队和故事来得好。
《欢乐好声音2》延续了第一部的励志故事与追梦主题，在插科打诨、欢天喜地的热闹情节中，也多了几分安静与传统，这也是该系列动画与时下其他动画的最大不同之处。
一地鸡毛的中年生活，偶然闪现的回忆重召；看似没有拐点也无从前进的人生，总要选择倒退，才能有新的方式行走。选择轻剧情的方式剖视生活危机，并串联回忆与往事；甜蜜与酸涩并存，配搭时间符号（地震、全输的世界杯再到空无一人的东京大街）…这般掌控之下，竟然也细煲出如散文诗的别致味道。结尾抓好感，多加一星。
不知道是原著如此还是导演自我发挥，用小沢健二的第一张专辑拍了一部电影，最后男主在凌晨的出租车上听到小沢健二的【彗星】，真的有点感同身受。
故事落了俗套，但有几个镜头很有趣，热门歌曲一首接一首可谓诚意满满了
可能30代日本人看了会更有共鸣，作为外国人还是少了些什么。节奏很舒服，结尾的走马灯深有体会。每一次看伊藤沙莉都比上一次更好，真好。
过去的你 成为了现在的我的一部分 想想还是挺欣慰的
太空舞台剧构思场景都不错，剧情有点不堪第一部
我们拼命过得不普通，最后活成了平庸。虽然没有成为完美无缺的大人，但都拥有了百感交集的人生。没有谁比谁成功，也没有谁比谁不幸，匆匆一路的走马灯，是美好的全部……
剧情负分，刺猬小姐太可爱了。哈哈哈
“太普通的事不想做”，但最终还是都做了，每个人都差不多，其实跟《花束》异曲同工，只是换了男生视角。
怎么说呢 希望我们都能与自己和解 撕去歌颂不普通的外壳（总觉得男女主每次说普通的时候都是在隐藏自己的害怕 自卑那种）顺利的长大成人！
今天也是想去tower record买碟的日子…总是要有异军突起的人才能有独自心爱的东西啊，就是因为他人的特别才能造就自己的特别。东京居然能将上海与香港的一些感觉同时结合在一起。而当这二十余年的种种琐碎被罗列出来的时候，对演员的考验就变得越来越大。4.1
在状态从头笑到尾，不在状态五分钟都看不完。
完全属于现在的电影；在无法逃脱的困境中生存吧
这一部比起上一部选歌差太多了 不过整体还不错。看到狮子终于克服内心悲哀上台唱歌的时候儿子在一旁突然起立鼓掌😂
是一部让我欣喜若狂热泪盈眶又想狂安利别人又不想被别人发现的小众宝藏电影
