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.
《正发生》
得知对方怀孕就想着上床也没事的男的真的太恶臭了……（真的很难去直视这种屏幕内外同时上演的疼痛。
看此片时的背景:据BBC，美国最高法院（Supreme Court）于当地时间周五（6月24日）作出裁决，推翻近半个世纪前有关女性堕胎合宪权的“罗诉韦德案”（Roe v Wade），裁定女性堕胎并非宪法赋予的权利——这一决定可能立即导致堕胎行为在美国22个州属非法。
没有太多新意但足够直接。画框、景别、调度无一不在加强逼仄感。片名起得极好。最棒的是那句台词：一种只攻击女人的病，把她们都变成家庭主妇。个人认为在第一幕的铺垫中需要强情节把女主逼向更无路可退的境地，结尾的高潮效果会更强烈。去年的这部金狮比金棕榈给得靠谱多了。
我的身体不由我做主，为导演这么敢打五星，同时觉得为我们触碰不到这类题材感到一丝愤懑
013921 安娜玛丽亚·沃特鲁梅全裸 女配全裸
观感很复杂，确实没有和疫情非绑在一起不可的关联，但却又像是不得不在疫情时才能get到的电影。很多东西都不断把人与人之间的界限模糊消去，但却也鲜有人真正去认识一个人，而在这种危险的亲密关系里，盼望“雨”将对方打醒的同时，却又不再盼望“雨”消散，于是“雨”积压泄落，结局亦未必是天晴。场置美术某种意义上弥补了本子里不够细腻的东西，每个场景的细节都做得又足又厉害。王净表现得挺好，虽然也有角色本身的加成吧。3.5归4，个人而言比《阳普》更加喜欢这部。
大量主观过肩镜头，焦点也多在女主上，表现内缩，凝视与被凝视；政治使个人困境和痛苦隐形，文字比现实有效力；这片任谁看了不厌男，但也庆幸自己是一名女性，有无数与痛苦共眠的时刻；绝望bgm
全程摄影机怼到人物脸上这种近距离跟拍的方式也挺呼应电影名字，以一种直观的拍摄手法让观众尽可能与女主感同身受还是挺有意思的

记住每个女孩曾经遭受的痛苦，做力所能及的改变。
不同国家的女性，都是男权政策的受害者……影片最后男医生说的"自然流产"，我真的是想骂人，一个年华正好的女性的生死命运被他人掌握……
4.温子仁的电影都没这个这么恐怖，让我一个大女人看的时候几度捂着眼睛不敢看下去。疼，太疼了！为什么身为女人就要流血又流泪！
贾静雯演技好好哦，这么熟悉的演员在新角色里还能让我感到很陌生，真的很神奇，以及怎么回事，竟然还能跟火神的眼泪和阳光普照梦幻联动，好几个地方真是，会心一笑，谁懂……
堪比恐怖片，导演成功将那种痛直接冷静地传给了观众！为堕胎无罪而奋斗过的人们，你们也创造了人类历史的伟大发明之一啊！
一开始想吐槽的点都被影片很好的节奏感赶走了。跳动的怀孕周数像步步紧逼的刺刀，直到那一声入水声，不停向下坠的达摩克利斯剑才收鞘。
很惨的一部电影，心理和生理都很痛，女性真的好难啊。
法国1975年才颁布法律允许abortion，而2022年世界上不少地区又开始禁止，太讽刺了，真是”正发生” // 女主演的非常好，拍摄也细腻，代入感很强看的很痛苦
从头到尾一直为女孩儿揪着心。故事很简单，但是很有冲击力。
赶巧前脚看了《忍者宝宝》，后脚看了本片。一夜情怀孕和非婚怀孕有区别吗？在一些人眼里有，在一些人眼里没有，恰如意外怀孕后处理方式上的不同和各执一词。性是男女双方的权力，而堕胎的不安和焦虑、苦痛却几乎完全由女性来承担。在这件事上无论男女都必然会进入对女性关注关怀和关爱的视角，这是她们的主场，我们是认真聆听的观众。遗憾的是目前看起来仍然无解。
