Poor Agnes will feel like anything but poor. She is a beautiful terror, and this film gives the horror genre a new level of psychological/ intellectual intelligence... Go to Full Review
Kat Hughes THN 02/07/2023
It raises some interesting ideas around relationships and their powers to both destruct and heal, and is held together by a fantastic performance from Burke. Go to Full Review

...not terribly surprising to note that Poor Agnes fizzles out long before arriving at its underwhelming conclusion, which is a shame, certainly, given that the movie does boast plenty of overtly positive attributes... Go to Full Review

3/5
Ramaswaran understands the appeal of Burke’s testy, impatient antihero he knows we’ll be willing to overlook an awful lot just to see where things end up for her. When Agnes is on screen, nothing else matters. Lucky her. Go to Full Review

Keenly observational and darkly erotic, Poor Agnes is a complex tale full of telling details. Go to Full Review

Burke’s performance and the bizarrely evolving relationship between her and her captive make Poor Agnes a fascinating take on the serial killer drama. Go to Full Review

James J 08/14/2024 This movie totally gets into the mechanics and real time definitions of Stockholm syndrome. I’m surprised how no one in other reviews have touched on this. It’s like they watch a movie that’s obviously about rocks and all they can see blindly is paper and scissors. Amazing. James M Johnson See more Cheryl C 08/09/2024 Boring. The plot sounded original. I was looking forward to watching a great film. I didn’t think a movie about a female serial killer would make sense in the beginning. But, I figured that once the story unfolded, it would surely be interesting. Nope. See more Read all reviews
