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.
机器人已经代替手机成为孩子们社交和连接的基本工具，但巴尼的这台却因为故障变得行为异常。《天赐灵机》讲得就是巴尼与故障机器人间友谊的故事。
可是我还是想要选择机器人，就如同我永远想要选择小动物。
所有的笑料都从“异类”二字而来，以一种带有浓厚恶意的目光审视他们，将他们与这世界不兼容的一切特质放大，滑稽地呈现出来，自以为是地想为他们指出一些处世之道，得出的结论却也只是让他们融入主流，甚至常常以某些人物完全说不通的突然接纳为前提。
小男主的一切行为我都不能理解，就算是个小孩子这样的情绪反复也让我焦躁，我对小孩的忍耐度太低了……阿荣无敌可爱，不能接受它就这么消失了，社交女孩的猫型机器人的表情我也很喜欢
设想它会是入坑爱豆后要订阅的bubble（这里“撞名”意外提供太多脑补空间）- -你渴望收到从不停更、准时推送的自拍、短视频以及各种颜文字表情包的职业营业三件套，还是虽不多、但却每每恰到好处的真情流露。身处一个技术世代，许多动画都开始将视角对准被算法、技术以及“Big Tech”劫持并且渐渐消失的“真心”；它们构思一个几乎能与现实生活对照的故事世界，也最终归纳出实际的矛盾- -我们的交流比任何时候都更简单方便，却也比任何时候都渴望其中的珍贵。Barney和Ron的历程与故事触碰于此，并有些许发散；尽管更多是粗浅美好的幻想，但还是让故事本身变得珍贵。
自传体就真诚多了，细碎迷人，充满种种惹人发笑的温暖趣味；生活的本质就是打岔，“电影没什么用，但能让从糟糕的生活里转移注意力”，以帮助你回去过生活，隐喻和种种手法，本质是你想说什么；那不勒斯可真美啊，只记取温暖自己人生的部分，是难能可贵的视角，只是这种生活浮在空中，哀伤和快乐，都离政治社会相距甚远，如同加了一层滤镜。
很难决定今年最恐怖的电影是这部还是《主流》。
真情实意才是朋友交往的基础，小白和大白有点像，都是我们的好朋友。
本片假借马拉多纳的上帝之手，讲了一个成长的故事。性，乱伦，南欧风情……父母健在时，法比奥是个幸福的孩子，他曾在足球和电影之间选择了足以燃烧青春的足球，与他做出相同选择的是整个那不勒斯城。足球与电影，一个是现实中的激情，一个是逃离现实的出口。但法比奥的父母意外离世后，他的人生出现了转折。在迷茫的青春期，80多岁的男爵夫人让他帮忙梳理两腿之间的一条老缝，在我国大部分地区，这样的第一次可被称之为“喂了狗”，但法比奥认为男爵夫人的话有道理，她是赠予他成人礼的辣过棱，为他打开了未来。而走私犯的一个金句也鼓舞了他：“我们没有疯，我们只是还年轻。”最终法比奥封存了对小姨的性幻想，背上行囊去罗马追逐电影梦，成为一名罗漂，他有故事要讲。该片音效太抢戏，实则并无卵用。四星中有二星献给我喜爱的那不勒斯和马拉多纳。
非常后悔没在东京电影节看，整个电影节的lineup三部都提到马拉多纳，三部的互文关系在电影节形成另一种巧妙。尽管法比托还是乘上了去往罗马的火车，但说不尽的那不勒斯的故事已经回荡在耳边成为一种陪伴。全片第一个长镜头就已经展现了导演的调度能力，几个情绪爆发点的设计看似轻描淡写却后劲十足。也许这才称得上让人又哭又笑的电影吧。
在其叙事主轴的把控上尤其劲道，即把握住了作者性的回忆碎片，又抓住了主干的凝炼力量。
甲板上一丝不挂晒太阳的小姨，是家族里的疯女人。
「你是自由的」，「我是自由的」，「有故事要讲吗？拿出些勇气！」，「你不能垮掉，法比奥」，「别去罗马」。
致全世界所有的weirdos。电影院里充满了小朋友的嬉笑，我却在很多片段抹眼泪。这是很少有的，让我与角色共情到痛苦的程度远大于滑稽剧情带给我的欢乐的动画影片，像是一枚包着糖纸的苦药丸。这个世界上充满黑暗的角落多到无处安放，没有人有时间在乎其他人，但是请你相信，everything will be fine in the end，你会遇到照亮你的光。
说实话完全没看出“温暖”“感动”…只觉得非常恐怖，这时瞥见了放在旁边的苹果手机，吓的跳起来赶紧把手机扔出两米远！！！
真是无语了，打扮得再华丽也掩饰不住三观的虚伪。穷人的孩子不配拥有幸福，除非你购买昂贵的垄断科技巨头的电子产品（这样你就能获得虚伪的“幸福”）。
如果最后所有的人都不需要用bbot了，或者ron回到barney身边会好一点吧。依然不失为一部很感人的动画，我们也都怀念着童年时没有那些智能产品时，像素化的黑白画面，单纯的游戏。当然了，最重要的还是那些从不需要规则，不需要通过窥视你社交平台来计算你的朋友。
索伦蒂诺的私人影像，这是属于他的《痛苦与荣耀》。关于成长和前行，关于与过去和解，关于找寻自我和接受自我，那不勒斯少年悲喜交加的成长回忆构成了故事的基础。对我来说，除了引用的费里尼的那句话，好像没有其他让我印象更为深刻的记忆点了。(摄影和构图都极为出色。
大白的续集小小白……温暖而有思量！
前半段的那不勒斯美丽传说，是关于电影、足球和美丽的胴体的男生懵懂青春。
