Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
整部片子在妈妈变大之前都有点无聊，把青春期幻化成怪兽其实很有意思，但是呈现得太表面了：美美在妈妈面前装的很辛苦这个点应该再多给一些，游戏时间可以短一些，低谷太短。虽说妈妈变大之后节奏稍微好起来了，但可惜母女和解还是写得很平。其实都可以更好。#但还是希望可以在电影院看唉

相比两年前全白制作团队的《飞奔去月球》好了不是一星半点，有被小细节感动，但总觉得缺斤少两又莫名其妙的，就，啊？整体给人一种和《包宝宝》一样无法细想的诡异感觉。
好看！虽然是华裔主角，也引入了不少东方文化，但内核依然是好莱坞式，不过青春成长的阵痛不分东西，各种元素融合得非常自然，期待导演的其他作品！
西方电影中的中国元素经常是粤港台风味，中国字是繁体字，角色言语是粤语，弄不弄就要舞狮，家里经常有牌位供奉，这种文化并不是中国文化的主流，所以经常会被中国观众所嫌弃。本片就是如此，本片中的角色都是外籍华人，生活的区域是外国的唐人街，还出现了道士作法等封建迷信剧情，这些剧情并不能代表真正的中国文化。这种伪中国文化电影是不可能引进国内上映的。
特别喜欢，作为亚洲人挺共情的，没有在种族这件事上感受到丝毫不适。在meimei第一次仪式和小熊猫面对面的时候一下就哭了，后面一直又哭又笑，不是因为具体的什么情节，而是一种从心里的纯粹的感动。最后我真想说小熊猫也太可爱了！
现在已经不大喜欢这种借一个情欲故事来探讨亲子关系或者别的什么所谓精巧的剧本，除了有些撩人的情欲之外，其实没多大意思，因为这些探讨充满刻意的“假”，这是不真实的，并不存在这种探讨和后来的醒悟，不过是种文艺的幻想
确实得指望女导演和女编剧。卡司里有吴珊卓。而且卡司很对应人物。四个女孩太好玩了，哈哈。谁不喜欢毛茸茸呢，朋友星星眼和大力那里哈哈哈。女孩穿裙子穿长裤好评，公交车前门侧面好评（想起很久以前听过的公交前门后方盲区上下学时段拥挤事故的新闻），毛的质感，尤其母女两人鼻子那里。配乐竟然也不错，片尾歌一下子就忆起以前听后街和西城的感觉了。女孩学霸，东亚家庭文化，母女，和自己和解，女性主义和女性力量，她的红熊猫（一定要留下自己的红熊猫，对女孩来讲很重要）。除了女性主角都是直的这点（哈哈，太直了，男美人鱼那里，噗）笑点也很可爱，红熊猫周边也很适合出。配乐竟然也很不错。很喜欢背景，场景，片尾的调色。这部的故事内容其实很适合走院线的，流媒体确实有些可惜了。有时怪物不是怪物，是力量，对女性尤其如此

传统的中式家庭观念与西方追求自我解放的一次碰撞，以及，最后完美的结合，既不是逃离家庭，也不是回归家庭。和家庭和解，接受所有的自己，果然，皮克斯的动画世界，永远感动永远有创意！
导演用情绪失控变身小熊猫指代生理期失控设定，变身只传女不传男，控制的方法则是放轻松，从朋友到最后家人都在激励着她。
太纯净了，太通透了，太形而上了，每一个词都在谈论肉身，可每一个词却都指向灵魂。进退失据和义无反顾，悔恨与慰藉，衰败与新生。赎尽对他人和对自己的歉意，然后抵达巅峰。
五分给turning red的女性团队，支持女性力量。电影里为什么选择说的广东话而不是中文呢。华裔让人亲切，但华裔不是中国人。把红色棕熊比喻成青春期对自己产生印象的各种情绪是形象的拟人方式。从始至终，都是妈妈让妹妹尴尬，一个是带着她去找Devon无地自容的恋爱幻想，第二个是带卫生巾去学校，然后妹妹逃回家在屋顶上跑着说自己要躲起来。最后让我感动的点就是妈妈也经历过美美经历的一切，想想就很心酸，但妈妈还是成为了外婆的样子。对于华裔女性的刻画我个人不是很喜欢，就很强势和完美主义。
【A-】
感觉迪士尼还是不要碰关于zg或者华裔主题的题材了，做了都进不来。。。皮克斯一如既往充满了有趣的灵魂，这次甚至真的是可爱又有趣，毛茸茸的小熊猫，如果可以进来应该会成为乐园里喜闻乐道的IP。寻找自我，和保持自我的主题，全家人都变成小熊猫真的太萌了。以及这电影里也可以看到KPOP的侵袭，真的是……不合理，笑的
一部显然是关于中国女性为家庭牺牲自我个性和欲望的故事。
最后半小时太精彩了！从被中断的仪式开始哭，到竹林里牵起妈妈的手那里，妈妈从少女走向成年，没有一句台词但情绪饱满得要从画面里溢出来，我直接嚎啕大哭完全停不下来。不要推开那些混乱，留出一个空间与它们共存，别太苛责自己，真希望那些年能有人对我说这些话。
影片完美还原了许多中国特色，中国祀堂，加拿大的唐人街，用小熊猫作为设定，门口的石狮子换成了小熊猫，还有经典的道士、神话传说，发生在2002年的元素应有尽有，包括人物眼睛放大时的画风，操场桌椅底下的口香糖，年代感古装电视剧。
卡通片想摆脱陈腔滥调真的很难，一旦说了一，二三四五六就会接着来，顺手得就像学会了骑自行车，忘都忘不掉。
红熊猫是挺萌的 但是妈妈这个人设我不太理解
