Critics Consensus

It may not deliver as many straight-up scares as genre fans expect, but Agnes takes a gratifyingly unusual approach to well-worn territory.

Austin Chronicle

A strange and beautiful tale of sex, religion, and dysfunction at the Carmelite convent of Santa Teresa.

TheWrap

A choppy, muddled mess of a movie that has its own identity crisis of what it wants to be or to show.

For all of its ruffled habits and bleeding eyes, Agnes is far sadder than it is scary (quite, versus not at all), and often sillier than it is sad.

Castle of Chills

More than the surprising and sometimes absurd comedy, the discussions and genuine explorations of faith are what make Agnes different.

The UnderSCENE

Reece ambitiously flips the movie into a heart-bending moment that focuses on the life of Mary, the one who needs special care from her superiors.

Keith & the Movies

While the movie tries to be clever with its dramatic shift in tone and completely new direction, it ends up feeling like two different films connected by the barest of threads. Even worse, neither story gets any kind of satisfying ending.

Rated: 2/5

Can't think of anything memorable about the film other than glad when it ended.

I don’t understand why this movie is called Agnes. Agnes is in less than half of the movie and that’s in the first half. It should be called “Mary works at a grocery store.”

The other comments say this and I agree. It starts off a a movie about a possibly possessed nun named Agnes and it hooks you for a moment. Then you never see that nun again. It turns into a drama about an ex-nun, not Agnes, trying to pay bills and telling her old friends from the church that she doesn't have faith because she talked to God and never heard back. We hear this ex-nun mention what happened to Agnes but she ‘doesn't want to talk about it’. So we get no answers. Agnes was 10% of the movie. First off, it’s offensive to horror movie watchers to say this is a horror movie. It’s also offensive to followers of God. Which is even worse. It has no answers to the beginning plot. And then it poops out an entirely different boring plot that goes no where. Complete waste of time. Please save yourself time. Whoever wrote this clearly wants people to question their faith and tried to disguise it as a horror movie so people would watch it. As a person who loves Jesus and also enjoys horror movies, Im insulted on both levels.

I don't believe any of these positive "critic"reviews even watched this movie. They HAVE to be paid for their positive reviews This was one of the worst movies I've seen. It started off really good. It seemed like it was going to be a priest exorcism horror movie with a touch of comedy, but then half way into the story line, it flashed forward and focused on a totally different characters life. It ceased being a horror movie, stopped having any humor, and it ended without explaining what happened in the original storyline. This was easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It makes me wonder if AI wrote the script for this movie.

Halfway through the movie it becomes... a completely different movie. And not in a good way. It had potential but the major plotline is resolved (poorly) half way through the movie, and at the end there are still too many unanswered questions.
