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.
看的让人好心塞，看完后已经成了一个泪人，太真实了
…………这种电影还要有灰姑娘和白马王子吗？？？
备战考公务员虽然屡战屡败，但收获了林允儿这个美貌女朋友，我觉得也算人生赢家了。有强迫症一切都得双数的酒店老板与拥有无数次舞台剧面试失败的可爱小客服的爱情，老年偶遇的初恋重新走在了一起，经纪人与歌手的惺惺相惜堪比爱情（对不起，李光洙虽然在动情的哭但我还是觉得很好笑），女生一直暗恋男性朋友不曾表白最终还参加了男性朋友的婚礼。虽然是碎片故事，但都发生在一个酒店里。圣诞氛围电影还是比不了《真爱至上》。
这部可以说是韩国版的“真爱至上”吧，虽然名字叫新年快乐，但是感觉更适合在圣诞节看。我们的允儿一直都很棒啊，那么美，演技也还行。韩智敏真是太漂亮了，非常有女人味！
算是中规中矩的一部片子吧，主要也是奔着这么多明星看的，整个故事都是围绕在酒店里和外的人，最有意思的大概就是林允儿这一对，我还一直好奇林允儿在哪结果居然是一直叫早服务的小姐姐。至于韩智敏这条线真就是一下子戳中了我自己的情感经历，只能说有些感情真的开不了口吧。
还不错，看到主演我就非常非常期待了，整体偏冗长，但还看得下去，有很多欧美电影的影子，但是大咖们聚在一起演这点已经弥补作品的不足了，是跨年的作品，不想挑太多缺点，还是有感动温暖的片段，挺好的，如果可以再多点欢乐和笑点，更能开心和温暖的开始新的一年。
整个剧情稍微有点慢，全程是用二倍速看完的，看完之后心里还是有痛的感觉吧，看到最后的时候会有想哭的冲动。不过片中妈妈的做法难道不会给小女儿心里留下一些阴影吗？即便是亲人也……整个故事讲的是很市井，很普通的生活，但是小女儿有一些的情节设置的过于文艺，比如卷窗帘那里，我能明白她是想表达生活把她包的密不透风，但可能就是因为前面电影把市井生活描写的太过细致，从而把小女儿写的性格有点儿过于不接地气了。（个人观点，你杠就是你对）
看的让人好心塞，看完后已经成了一个泪人，太真实了
②第一次get到了李栋旭的帅；
보면 볼수록 재미있네 一开始有点无聊毕竟大拼盘都这样，但是天空那条线好好笑，郑进永那对好sweet，不过郭在容拍的还是有水平的，但下次就不要再拍这种了吧
2.5/5.0
灰姑娘的故事真的可以讲一辈子了；相亲男的故事好想看完整版，李阵郁真的在有限的出场时间里散发出无限的魅力了；我允的戏份真的就少得太离谱就对了；因为汇集了好多喜欢的人再简单的故事也给四星了，啊金英光的暖男永远看不腻！
照着韩版“真爱至上”的路子来拍的，改编老套到李光洙那条歌手与制作人的剧情线都懒得变动。作为亚洲影片，将圣诞节这种舶来节日作为故事背景，加上韩国本土纯爱、霸总滤镜，始终呈现出一种崇洋媚外、不伦不类的文化焦虑。不得不说林允儿的颜值真的能打，强行抬高影片整体质感的那种。
非要选就叫醒服务那对把哈哈哈哈哈哈好配好配(´▽`ʃƪ) ྉྉྉ
2.女主人公爸爸患病期间不能生活自理的场面，画面真实也很残酷
有不少经典黑帮片的影子，开头的室内长镜头很厉害，但中间连贯性感觉不好。
为一开场的长镜头加分。打来打去不知所为，斯拉夫民族只会动拳头动枪，基本不用脑，直来直去的
乌克兰社会人的成长和陨落，讲的是故事，反映的是心情。谢佐夫加油
年末的新年快乐
3.5 故事太多了 有些没立住 再好好磨磨 应该能成为一个很好的新年礼包型贺岁爱情片
