While Agnes of God has been considerably opened up, it is actually muddled in its transfer from stage to screen.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Despite all the anguished huffing and puffing, there isn't a single authentic moment in it.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

It is Meg Tilly who makes the movie live. Her performance, which works on both realistic and symbolic levels, allows you to believe in the story.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

Agnes of God plays with some challenging ideas and some sensationalistic events, but ultimately it fails to earn its right to toy with such subjects.
