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.
女儿穿越找妈妈的设定今年在电视剧《我才不要和你做朋友呢》已经出现，而电影结局的双穿越使情感升华提高了层次。相比于以前的父子穿越，近几年母女题材影视剧的兴起反映社会女性权利意识的觉醒。
怎么说，哪怕是这种题材对我来讲没什么触动点，但看完之后依旧是会对剧情里的人物有小小的共鸣。我喜欢它简约的主题——我来你高兴吗？高兴啊！
只有一次的随机分配，我怎么就这么幸运遇到你们做我的父母呢？来到这个世界，谢谢有你们收留我。
喜欢贾玲，但是电影导的真不行。 拥有所有烂片的共同点:故事的推动没有核心逻辑，纯粹的段子拼凑，段子还都俗套的要命。最后还要强行煽情，贾玲的演技也崩了。
看过小品但依然被惊艳到了，对妈妈最后的部分简直是神来之笔
剧情非常不合理。同样的套路故事讲的还不如〖我才不要和你做朋友呢〗。整个电影爸爸的存在就是屁吗？所有要找家长的事情都是妈妈去，孩子所有事情都是找妈妈，爸爸就是谢师宴出现了一个喝酒的背影，谢师宴回家都是妈妈骑车带孩子…没必要为了突出母爱，搞成丧偶式育儿吧！孩子高中都毕业了，做假证，不违法吗？这样的溺爱式教育不失败吗？为了搞笑而搞笑为了煽情而煽情…贾玲虽然很可爱，但是演高中生，跟章子怡演上阳赋少女不是一回事吗？两分不能更多了，尴尬症我都犯了。

阳光灿烂空想八十年代质感让人想起《我和我的祖国/家乡》系列，然后是像开心麻花的那种“跳下黄河洗不清”屎尿屁喜剧，意思都不大；但结尾用视觉互换的老梗煽得一手好情，伤心敞篷车，确实真切感人
看之前相信值得一看，但觉得分数夸张了。看过之后完全理解，再理智觉得四星也愿意为情感、为女性视角都给五星。和闺蜜哭得很整齐！张小斐好美&演得好好！沈腾叔叔真是长在我笑点上；听到冯巩的“想死你们啦”才感受到了过年气氛；以前没注意乔杉和贾玲长这么像？结尾很妙！！！贾玲这次很牛！李焕英值得！
真情实感的搞笑治愈家庭片，适合带家人一起看。从小品到电影，筹备这么多年，可以看出贾玲对母亲用情有多深。电影比小品剧情更丰富，也更能放大演员的表演，影片能打动观众，是因为演员们做到了“真”。沈腾用自己的演出诠释“少即是多”的道理，和舞台剧相比他很善于在大银幕上收着演。
非慈感念，无以纵冥阳之两界。
为母则刚
东拼西借，生挠胳肢，强行煽情，自我感动，
异命题的三观正确的《夏洛特烦恼》，创作者的出发点是好的，但艺术风格和视听语言只停留在中学生命题作文水平。如果说喜剧只做到有笑有泪就可以，那么市场上将只会充斥着煽情机器——这也正是电影后半段的真实情况，设若不去打磨戏剧结构、凝练主题思想，再多的情绪堆积都是银幕上的精神鸦片和消费快餐。
8.5分。太好哭了吧，不过估计回家和我妈的关系还是老样子。只能在电影里感受亲情，也算是一种悲哀。
笑点非常密集，从头笑到尾，特别是划船那段（而且居然有点磕晓玲和冷特的cp哈哈哈）。最后结尾非常感人，在电影院默默流泪。一句话来形容最贴切不过：妈妈明知最后奔向的是死亡，却还是选择了你做她的女儿。
影片最后打动我的竟然是最后的字幕，尤其是那句
整个电影院都在哭。每一个人都在哭。每一个。
反转设定非常加分，基本没什么拍摄技巧，但就是能让人动情，煽情手法也不讨人厌。那句“我宝”真的催泪啊。相比运用各种炫技拍摄手法但是笑点槽点剧情一塌涂地的“唐探”，我更希望看到更多的这种拍摄手法粗糙但能让人动情的“小品”电影。
总之，这是一部真情实感，很难复制的一部讲述亲情的电影，值得推荐
