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.
这部电影是传记类电影。一下子让我想起之前看过的《玫瑰人生》，第80届奥斯卡最佳女主角。其实传记类电影，主角，很难get到人物的灵魂的，而一旦有了那点东西，或多或少，就是一部好的传记，也是好的表演。
围观一下新科奥斯卡影后的表演。电影就是那种奔着奖去的片子啊，里外都是生意。然后这一届好多人唱歌啊hhhh
54th 还不错啊，至少观影挺轻松的也不沉闷，劳模姐很稳定的喜剧表演。劳模姐在好莱坞兢兢业业认真拍戏这么多年，确实值得奥斯卡提名鼓励。总比某些靠漏阴炒作把表演当做名利和事业回春的工具，表面be kind背后阴招不断捧高踩低的双面人强。
不能说劳模姐演得不好，但是扮丑、增肥的换脸式化妆，浮夸、做作、自我感动的反讽式表演虽然突破了过去的女强人戏路，却让人充满了不适（也可能这就是导演的本意）。宗教背景和社会文化上的区隔本身就很难共情，类似题材总觉得给我们传播了德先生和赛先生的西方社会怎么能到现在还那么反智，让这样的巫婆神棍浑水摸鱼，一群人打着上帝的旗号，却行着魑魅魍魉百鬼夜行的作妖之事，满满的是“表面仁义道德，背后男盗女娼”的辛辣讽刺。
为劳模姐量身定做的冲奥片，然后就只剩陈词滥调
荣耀归于上帝，金钱归于布道者。太阳底下无新鲜事，最终都是难免尔虞我诈的利益之争，演技确实是唯一看点。劳模姐结尾换头级演出，个人感觉有些用力过度，但也算“触动人心”吧，值得一座小金人，加菲和塔米菲老母演得也不错，还有一个锤哥+基努里维斯结合体的肌肉猛男让人印象深刻。
其实一开始看还是很生气的，两个并不怎么纯粹的人靠宗教捞了一桶又一桶金，不过他们也得到了应有的惩罚，最后塔米·菲再次登台演唱的时候还是有那么点点让人心酸的。劳模姐很棒的诠释了塔米·菲大起大落的人生，加菲的表演则是无功无过吧。
在Jessica一票强势的女性角色里这个表演确实耳目一新，即便有化妆加成依然看得出难度之高。但很遗憾剧作上的时间跨度太大，又没有轻重地给人物大事件发力，导致片子沦为一笔流水账，也没法对这个争议人物共情，唉
画面不错，印象里小学看的剧场版都还挺好的，不知道为什么这个这么无聊……
这个片子值得一个奥斯卡影后？劳模姐的表演一直是一样的。
化妆和女主提名稳了。电影里老态龙钟“神婆”，Q&A劳模姐真人出现，简直清新如少女，太美了！劳模姐说Tammy是百分百真诚，而这时代在嘲笑真诚的人。影片前三分之一我也在质疑这是不是在讽刺，惭愧惭愧
信仰的力量可太强大了...
劳模姐的演技无可挑剔，跟艾滋病患者对谈那段堪称全片高光。剧本真的太弱了，仅仅偶尔对人物人性部分的“窥探”，让Tammy Faye变成一个虚无的符号。
很认真地说，如此的电影结尾，必须搭配真人塔米·菲的性格，可以勾连的当然也就是劳模姐巨做作的精彩（无贬义）表演，问题在此呼之欲出，这基本很难说是传记，简单地说，从一败涂地中再次站起和性格已经没啥关系了，无非是做戏不得不这么搞而已，当然更可以上升为致命的结构或解构不当问题，为劳模姐影后预告加一星吧，这么多年了，媳妇也早该熬成婆了。
和她的第60部电影
很普通的传记片，非但没有过人之处，劳模姐的妆容还令我感到很不适，让我在吃东西时候不得不两次中断观影，片尾原型人物并不这样。
解除封控后影院第一刷！

挺失望的，大雄的主角戏份居然还没有小矮人高。哆啦A梦的道具也丧失了奇思妙想的点子。群戏的刻画依然是动画电影里面天花板的存在
5.5分。翻拍自1985年的同名，又臭又长，娃儿都看得磨皮擦痒，国配还换了配音，哆啦A梦都敢换，没救了。
