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.

一部儿童电影，让我热泪盈眶，虽然前一半的内容是剧集里面的，但后半段老人院和霸王龙小分队集结还是让人很感动QAQ
经常看动画片的大概都会了解，这部电影就像是几集动画片连在一起的，就是每个情景都很眼熟，没有太多的惊喜
柬埔寨之声，一种独立表达，开头骑摩托那场戏还挺好，后来就变得越来越薄，最好想意味深长一点，却是太薄了一点。
就很诡异
适合带着孩子一起看的电影，非常有教育意义，关爱独居老人，让孩子有爱心，图图和他的小伙伴用自己的行动告诉大家

《大耳朵图图》是我从小在看的。之前的那部电影我是在电视上看到，虽然肯定没有在电影院里看那么有氛围，但它想阐述的内容震撼到我了，我当时就决定只要再出电影，我一定把票补上。这部片也没有出乎我的预料。
剧情有点老套了，跟以前看的差不多，胡图图还是一样傻傻的
前期夹杂电视版的剧情成分太多，些许无趣了，后期关爱老人的问题可能因为上个学期去敬老院做过志愿者，有被感染到，温馨而和谐。总之图图的故事一直一直伴随着我。
买错票去看的 爷青回 教育意义还是有的 不要以貌取人 环保 关心身边人让身边人开心 关爱老人就是关爱明天的自己
难能可贵的童心，很治愈。聚焦环保、空巢老人话题展开，有教育意义。值得五星。
电影讲述了图图和牛爷爷的相遇，霸王龙小队帮助牛爷爷。对家长和孩子的关系，空巢老人这些社会问题进行了描写和探讨，对比上一部幼稚了许多，但是当做一部合家欢电影还是很合格的
还可以，假期带着孩子去电影院看看，消磨时间，孩子很喜欢看
看在图图面子上打三颗星，剧情都是播放过的，毫无创意和新意，就唱了几首霸王龙的歌，要不是喜欢图图一颗星都不想打。
不错的动画长篇。就是有时的背景音乐的伴奏和动画不搭，它听起来很紧张刺激和动画很割裂。我很喜欢刷子，她自由，拥有选择自己的权利，想不穿裙子就不穿，就是喜欢霸王龙，很可爱很飒。最后表白全能小怪。最最后，我想我姥和姥爷了。
关键还是图图刷子几个小孩儿唱出来的
但不得不说上影厂不愧是上影厂 画面的色调太舒服了 动画片里图图家的装修还有番豆小区都很好看 搬到大荧幕上以后更好看了 光是看这些我就很满足
#21PYIFF 3.5星。讲述柬埔寨人们赖以生存的精神家园白色大厦面临拆迁；朋友远去法国离开家乡，跳舞梦想的破碎，精神家园被摧毁，以少年的视角非常细腻的描述了这种复杂的情感；刻画的父亲（当地人群）形象：隐忍、善良、愚钝……被工业化发展抛弃的城市注定经历四分五裂，楼房拆毁、年轻人离开，最后一个镜头，那种复杂的伤感衬着蓝色的夜晚，忧郁的晚风，真的非常非常美，一刹那我想到了《月光男孩》，以及骑摩托车的画面非常《青少年哪吒》，很喜欢。
某一生活断面的情绪呓语，以新一代青年视角表现柬埔寨人民无边无望的生活状态，全片为闲散不具事件性的生活碎片。电影与建筑与社区的关系传递得也不够明显，人与物和地的连接性较弱。开头以为是《风柜来的人》那挂，结果城市青年的特性流于表面，社会带来的集体颓废也停留在空洞的情绪概念。关于社区拆迁与个体记忆《加加林》好太多了。
