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.

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

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.

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

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.

2/5

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.

A tale of two movies, first half was looking like a decent exorcism; then, I don’t know what happened because it made a hard left in a completely different direction. MAYBE the ending could have saved it but it didn’t so there’s no sense in talking about it, This movie is like a cheap sandwich that someone picked apart with their hands and tried to feed you.

Felt like a wannabe Indie film, it just went off like it didn't even make any sense at the end

I was stressed and disappointed watching this. The cinematography was okay but then it was so unserious for a horror, it can't even be classified under horror comedy genre. They wasted time and effort shooting unnecessary scenes and giving awkward lines and settings. Many things are just off even the flow of the story. The trailer and poster was promising but upon watching it, there is nothing really good about it. Feels like I wasted my time with this.

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.
