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.
作为心理惊悚片 我还是相对喜欢的 如果是传记可能就只有两星了 电影的质感像是胶片拍的 整体色调很轻柔 但又如玻璃一般脆弱 搭上Diana离婚前3天的状态 那些无数次令人窒息的目光 那些如梦幻泡影随时幻灭的脆弱与坚强 能理解这部片两极分化严重的评论 不过小K的演技确实提高了不少 或许能拿奥斯卡最佳？母鸡啦～
此前迟迟没太有观影冲动，想着后面要是提名获得奥斯卡奖最佳女主角再来观看，结果还真提名了，现在总算是完成“任务”了。个人观感与《第一夫人》差不多，比前两部看的《古驰家族》《塔米·菲的眼睛》好一些。
诡异又扑朔迷离的同人文，为了传递情绪把其它都变得不重要，全程我都觉得是小k在演一个去参加了一个化装舞会的女高中生，她自己很兴奋，但她就不是她。除了缩脖子这种不节制的动作之外，腔调也十分套路模板化，另外剧作又常常有意无意的提醒这是戴安娜的故事，令我十分不舒服。我只能说，如果戴安娜真的是这样，就不奇怪为什么皇室都嫌她了。整部电影里桌球桌前一场戏还不错，有台词的填充，有一个利害的施力者（反例是莎莉霍金斯自然无形的表演打得小K落花流水），让这个聊天变得好看且有意义。这部电影也是那种到处坐下来与人聊天的电影，但是没有真正的对环境加以表达与选择，从衣食住行着手，细节并不丰富，只有角色围绕这个话题的谈论，如此以来状态的表达就很贫瘠，最后那一段舞蹈合集看着和抖音合集一样。
威尼斯主竞赛第五场，欲戴王冠必承其重👑。她只想做回斯宾塞小姐，而不是当威尔士王妃。斯图尔特演的很棒远超我的预期。我最想知道的是那件高定Chanel礼服的花费👗。
【YVR-Vancity】三星半。刚得知卡司的时候，还是蛮担心的，总觉得斯图尔特有些过于“英气”了（褒义）。但结果出乎意料，虽然有些角度镜头（尤其是奔跑的片段）还是能看出些不合适，但整体把握完成度还是蛮高的。用说话方式和气声的使用来展现角色的脆弱，能理解，不过和其他人的对话相比，有时候实在有些听不清再说什么。最爱的段落是结尾的驾车和海边漫步，那份解脱是明确能够感受到的。导演的名人传记拍摄越来越驾轻就熟了。
美国郑爽还是跟以前差不多吧，不能说原地踏步，也学了个耸肩膀新招，跟经典的边摇头边说话弄了个组合拳，配上神经质的全程气音，打得人魂飞魄散
故事挺有趣的，很多巧合都得到了合理解释，最重要的是你希望出现的结果都没有让人失望
珍珠在烂透的楼梯上散落坠地 象征着婚姻和命运都已支离破碎 对比安妮王后更叠加了悲剧性
很多地方完全恐怖片拍法我喜，很好地传达了焦虑，小K再次杀我，她的气质就非常焦虑，真的选角大成功
你需要的是 爱，惊吓，欢乐
就像那张便签上写的，爱你的人不止我一个。就像那首歌里唱的，我所需要的只是奇迹，只是你。
冰冷的卧室，看着镜子里的自己，我将一辈子困囿于城堡中吗？
只有扑面而来的情绪。竭力呈现惊悚、恍惚的氛围。迫使人去感受压力、混乱、冷漠。一个鲜活的人如何被看见，被选中，被杀死。
3.5，和《第一夫人》截然不同的内在机理，由一组组pose构成，是主题为王妃的秀场。因此她只能由争议的大明星出演，以突出pose的双重性。“只有三天，很快就过去”，这是面向观众说出的定制版台词。
《王冠》大火下，再拍这个题材其实不讨巧。感觉K演得特别费劲，徘徊在出戏与入戏间，看得难受死了。她和王冠里的戴安娜都只是部分神似，但体态都很糟糕，太别扭，其实戴安娜不驼背啊。
跟看预告片同样的感受，唉。如果说哈里称得上“叛国”，这个片子里的小K和其他美国符号，则是又一波英国的“被殖民”。尽管很美，但小K真的不是戴安娜，有几个镜头倒是魂穿了黄金时代的好莱坞女星，同样压抑的那些。怀念演员为得奥斯卡演传记片下大功夫的年代。摄影特写铺满、古典音乐铺满、Chanel铺满，还莫名有种路易十四的味道。感觉拉雷因的品味有点儿问题。从《第一夫人》也看出，他好像不太懂女人，也不太会选女演员。他片中的女性主角更像是他对女性的幻想（不是性幻想）。还有那些幼稚的重复隐喻镜头。唉！
好全的一次毛骗后主演团队再聚首，冬冬的几段承包了此片所有的笑点。

安妮·博林与戴安娜，莫名想起了《游戏规则》
故事的角度其实非常讨巧，把Diana人生中最重要的时刻全程展示给世人，比赘述她她的前世今生都更吸引人，气氛和情绪渲染的也很棒，尤其管家，chef和dresser三个黄金配角，一切都很好，只有…K的演技啊…为什么跟当年Twilight毫无长进…？！而且音乐太吵了。
