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.
越是在幻想题材里讨论家庭关系，越是揭示出这一问题的绝望和可悲。李焕英，抱紧我，小妈妈，智能大反攻，青春变形记……实在是数不完了。
我说我怎么这么喜欢男团那首歌，原来是碧梨兄妹写的，体育馆那段流行乐+诵经绝了。中国风元素演绎的很棒！
Oh, my god，皮克斯。我想但凡是个热爱生活的人，都愿意把灵魂交给你去创作！这样的观影体验简直太棒了！无可挑剔…… 最近皮克斯的动画有感觉逐渐往东方用力，但方式还算不错，有更大的潜力可以挖掘。人生的每一个阶段、性别、年龄都是可以用来讲述生命意义的。 皮克斯就应该享有这样的赞誉，它值得！
精彩又感动。对于东方孝道对人性的压迫和控制到底是全盘接受还是勇敢反抗？看最后老一辈都放弃了与红熊猫共存，就好像是她们始终选择了放弃相当一部分的真我一般，向传统对人性的桎梏妥协，只有小美选择做自己，爱自己，尊重自己。当母亲明说自己都没有去看过一场演唱会的时候，缺爱的心理吧，因为没有被爱过，所以也不觉得自己值得爱，以至于放弃了一些追求，只为做父母眼中的乖乖仔。而剧中小美所在家庭却是一种女强男弱的氛围，这抑或也是一种心理和精神上的代偿吧。而在竹林里变回幼年的母亲明也让人心疼，她反抗母亲的控制却还要感到抱歉，一生的委屈扭曲了她的心态，即便她是成年人，却仍旧携带着童年的创伤，或许整部电影都无法抚平母亲明心理的伤。每个孩子都是全新的，但传统的孝道和随着孝道而来的控制欲却代代相传。
三星半。青春的当口，父母的精力全部都放在让你的身体如何健康发育，让你的成绩更加优异，让你向着更完美的人类发展。这是他们心理层面所认为的不易让你受伤，却忽略了你的心理才是最颠簸的一角。女性，尤其是华人群体中的女性，会更加懂得母亲爱你到极致便成了窒息，这是母亲自身都难以参透的谜题。石之予通过影片传达的，并非是精巧的变奏，而是想通过这样的方式，告诉每个人，人生处在关键节点，你本就拥有的更多选择，更多可能。我们总会做错，但错误折算出的成长高度，才最为宝贵。转到人生的下个路口，也别忘了爱你的家人，以及，一声姐妹大过天。
小熊猫很可爱，外国人拍的中国风，学到一点点，但总是差点意思，无奈剧情实在是一般。
与虎妈和解之战——就是女儿当自强当自励（立，最后10分钟挺燃，就是其实小姑娘以前不也在做自己吗，矛盾没有太激烈的亚子。
太萌了，“神话”落地在不会砸碎一切传统、毫无传承，也即非共的自由国家中，离心灵鸡汤就拉开了适当的距离，可以说让“接纳你自己”这句心理学构造的被用来广泛指导生活的存粹屁话，有了蛮多坚实的现实范例，当然了，片子没有进行到不爱属己之物还能爱什么，甚至更过分的自己怎么会不美的双重困境里，可能还是因为短小精悍，故事结束的地方恰到好处，而这点就真的是太棒了，谢谢侬！
好可爱好感人，好像所有中国人感受的母爱都是窒息的，真的神了奇了，这就是我们的传统文化吗？动画太可爱了，没有人不喜欢熊猫……想埋在红熊猫肚子上fufu
宗祠特地强调不是男的，是女人，还是动物保护着。。。
真的幽默十足，喜欢男团、喜欢男神的中二街头黑怕女孩，还有毛茸茸巨萌的大红猫咪。
我不太懂为什么美国的学生总要追求他们崇尚的一种【cool】，特立独行、不合群、敢于和老师家长说不就是cool，而成绩好数学天才还懂乐器懂跳舞为什么就不能是cool？朋友叫她保留红熊猫原因是【反抗妈妈才是你真的自己】 这样的三观在我看来不太能接受…妈妈行为固然不对 过分禁制孩子的天性 但是你自己从没有在妈妈面前说过心里话吐露过自己的内心最渴求 顺从家长的反面不一定是反抗 还有协商和交流——这两母女最缺的就是内心的交流 迪士尼这次没有把这个讲好 实属可惜。然而还是觉得电影很好看 小熊猫好可爱 我也想要一条尾巴！
看的是一直被可爱到，但好像也仅限于此了。虽然和母亲的和解，dddd。但是先看影评再看电影，没想到大家吹爆的隐喻，这么浅显的吗……
虽然立意也没有很深，剧情也没有很新，但观感比近期的老套合家欢动画还是多了几分新鲜感，红熊猫很可爱，想拥有同款玩偶呜呜呜
这部片子估计男女之间打分差异会较大，因为里面所讲的母女关系、女孩成长、闺蜜情谊都是非常微妙且独特的，也只有女性才能更有体会吧，否则看起来就是一部青春励志卡通片。并且导演把这些点处理得很符合动画片的形式，纵然里面的母亲对女儿有很多管控过度的错误行为，但片子并没有采取批判的方式，而是通过母亲暴走之后露出脆弱的一面，让女儿和母亲之间身份互换完成双方的成长，这是最赞的一点！我自己也有一个这样的母亲，因此也塑造了追求完美的我，希望我也能释放出自己的小熊猫，与它和平共处。
希望从小以家国传统和家庭为上又接受西方教育和思潮的我们，都有机会跟长辈敞开心扉并和解和睦，然后接受自己成为自己
everybody has their inner fear or problems. perhaps a better way to deal with them is to accept them, make room for them, translate them, and live with them. life isn't perfect, so is every one of us. to be a perfect self is illusory and will only drive us to the abyss we set. accept who we are, good or bad, with no judgment. love and peace can be found in the present and the present is the best moment.
评论区乌烟瘴气，二元思想充斥其中，薛定谔的自尊心，不长脑子的田园女权
3.5。不知道真正的美国华裔移民家庭究竟是什么样的，因而观影体验多少产生了一些距离造成的旁观感。你可以说故事的主题表达其实并不十分深刻，甚至于有一种流水线的量产质感，但是也不得不承认，在想象力和他国文化的处理上，迪士尼还是独树一帜的，这也不是仅凭精良的制作就能达成的效果。
简直是新时代的傅满洲剧情，新时代的话语权就是这样一点点被夺走的，迪士尼这样一个动画制片厂简直是伪装成动画的最强美帝政治机器
