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.
No.21 失望就是很纯情的爱情片罢了 徐贤倒是变漂亮了
性癖是自由的，刺激但是很清水的电影。男主角长相和身材我好爱！
这种题材算是比较新颖的，能拍出来就很棒了。都是食色男女，谁还没点癖好，不伤害他人就行。
好新的题材，反正我之前是没接触过。蛮新颖的～带着好奇和激动的心情开始观影的，🇰🇷真有创意只能说，介于“能看”和“不能看”之间的成人化电影。不说啥深奥的社会意义和批判精神，就选角和演技都可以给到很高的分数。
把这个题材拍到能播的程度 要些水平 就是没法看
其实是解构了职场中男女权利等级之间的差异又以BDSM这种方式构建了平等关系，后用爱情轻喜剧的类型表达了出来。
风格要是再偏一点说不定就不是爱情片了，哈哈
这就是带点题材的恋爱轻喜剧，适合路人观看，养眼也挺好的
原本以为只是一般的性喜剧，没想到比预期好看很多，就是一部性/别教育片嘛！不仅科普了BDSM，还涉及职场性别权力关系、性骚扰、以SM的名义的强奸等议题，比起博眼球的《五十度灰》，这部没有什么劲爆床戏的小清新喜剧背后其实是对社会现实的反映。男女主都很可爱！
了解之后确定了bdsm果然不是我的xp，男女主颜值还可以演技着实感人
谁能想到有一天能看到少女时代的忙内演韩版“五十度灰”呢……
虽然都算不上性喜剧，但娱乐性还挺强的，好适合热恋情侣看哦！
2022. 오래만에 막내를 보는데 참 의외의 표현이다. 달콤한 매로인데도 몇 장면을 새롭게 찍고 재미있게 봤다.
第一次看受虐型电影，韩国还真是什么类型题材都赶拍啊！服！就剧情而言也只是蜻蜓点水，没有更黄更暴力！差评！
這個小男孩真的好像一隻大金毛誒(稍微有些s傾向的我太吃這一套了…好想蹂躪他🤭徐賢這個s演的不太ok，她實在太清冷，導演或許想找出反差感，但實際效果不佳，有點木。
6.5分。披着情色片外衣的纯爱片~~~打着SM的套路，骨子里却是个爱情喜剧，实际也没太多露骨的内容。整个电影还是太过四平八稳了一些，说到这个就想起同类型的《秘书》，东西方文化还是有不少差异啊~~~~
女主看了下就是个女团成员不是个电影演员 所以全片她给我的有感镜头就一个 但其实这样“毫无特点的死脸”也还挺符合角色选角的 如同男主选了个标准小奶狗一样
為了把喜劇愛情片做新穎也是很努力加題材了，前半段比較有意思，後半段又開始昇華主題加俗套了
徐贤似乎还是没走上演员的顺风路。
被骗了，借SM之名行恋爱之实的爱情轻喜，徐贤的妆造虽然很有味道，但演技真的很木，还不如其他女配
