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.
“悲伤被温柔包容，自言自语地道谢了”好治愈😭😭
一开头就被治愈了 我也想养一只叫sansan的喵
《奇怪小妖找主公》1星
温暖治愈~ 斑夏的盛世~~两个小人偶冲向天空的画面好可爱(*╹▽╹*)
剧情依旧在线，看的人心都变柔软了。可是现实中一个人受过那么多伤害以后，真的还有这么温柔的心吗？
这是剧场版?这时长是认真的?太敷衍了事了吧，充其量两个ova合集而已；而且剧情无聊不说，画面方面也极其简易，尤其最后三筱和友人打斗画面尬得我突然笑了。
纳兹咩有能力保护他想保护的人了
或许有一天，夏目也会成为三筱口中的转瞬即逝的怀念瞬间
是两个故事合并一起上映 做成了一个50分钟的剧场 我的天太暖了！ 夏目和猫咪老师的友情 这是什么神仙动画
反正三三永远是夏目的最爱，三三这个死傲娇～
只要这番不完结，我就一直追下去！我永远是夏目三三的真爱粉！

“嗯，是啊。”
“今晚的月色很美，我就特地送你一程吧。和你这样娇小的人类一起赏月的时光，也会有一天变得让人怀念吗？一定是转瞬即逝的吧。”不可结缘，徒增寂寞。彩云易散，烟花易冷，但那些铭记心中的美妙瞬间，大抵因为有你在身边才变得特别，让人怀念吧。
昨天晚上和小阳一起看的，情怀满分，老朋友们回来了的感觉~
猫咪老师胖得不像话，获得新称号“猫咪不倒翁”。夏目的友情破颜拳越发熟练。故事都好温暖哪~
没有动画片惊艳，50多分钟，没有以前感动了。画风还是在线。
唤石者，根子里的执着远比追逐奖励更能实现不辜负，且能看见实现理想路上大树隧道的奇妙风景，将奖励的美酒，胜利的果实分享给一路伙伴，喜悦！
不是剧场版或特别篇 是两集正常动画的节奏和体量 依然清新治愈 长时间的空档期已经有些忘了这个系列的优缺点和剧情 但明显感觉到了主角在这两个故事中的成长 在不断的冒险故事中 从依仗别人的小白到可以独当一面的大人 有些故事没有结局却伴随着一起成长
夏目好温柔😭，他身边的每一个人，每一个妖怪也都很温柔😭。
