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.
只能说中规中矩吧，到了后面的剧情延续略显吃力。

这才是国内喜剧片该有的样子，太喜欢了，有韩国那味道了，有搞笑有感动有人生感悟
#BJIFF2021 No.2#北影节主竞赛单元影片，映后还有质量较高的主创见面活动，主创与观众一同全程观看的影片。全片摄影和美术令人印象深刻，其他方面属于一般水平，在资金有限的情况下一部战争片完成到这种程度实属不易。影片故事的大框架像《1917》，风格像《风吹麦浪》，尽管一些地方有似曾相识之感，但仍可见主创在艺术探索方面所做的努力。本片大概值三颗星，但冲着这样怀着赤诚之心为中国电影积极做出探索的主创团队，值得再为他们加一颗星。
看着不讨厌，不尴尬还有笑点的喜剧，就比很多作品好很多了
崔志佳还可以啊，观影过程中被逗乐好几次，有点小尬，整体合格～特别是主题升华，我觉得这类型的电影挺好的，比洗钱电影好多了…
几个场面，电影里不如短视频更有笑点，但是个不错的喜剧片
东北电影常常因为真的很东北而分数低，这部不一样，没有太东北，因为后面拔高垮了
整体对于喜剧电影来说是合格的，笑点不断。老四的出现没想到，抖音关注过；李会长也是绝了；月季没唱一宿，是最大的遗憾了。
其实能做到及格的，还是有一些突兀的地方。前半段是满分
也没有讨厌的硬捧女星
一部合格的网络电影。很欣慰能看见四哥和李会长发光发亮。
这片要是美国人拍的，估计能得8分。
好算不上，个别梗还能逗逗乐，最后狗尾续貂太多
里面明星不少，应该是佳佳给他家时候能演戏的亲戚和圈内朋友都叫过来了，角色设置不是特别丰满，尤其保安宋晓峰，像是个工具人，但里面好多小梗还是不错的，尤其吃包子那太逗了。崔志佳自己当导演应该是首部影片拍成这样真的不错了，意义也挺深刻，就是关注服刑劳改人员的再就业。
比预期的要好很多，在线上“大电影”里应该属于佳作了。
把所有好看的片段全剪到预告片了。其实本来就好好搞笑一下可以不？有笑点呀！为什么非要强行煽情或者突生波折呢？就好好办好葬礼，搞笑一点啊。前面还不错，越到后面越不好看。二星过少，三星过多。害！

合着主题就是，得接纳犯错误的人员，但是不保证不犯错误呗
