	Review: Agnes of God
		When Agnes is rushed to the hospital after giving birth in her room, her infant is found strangled and dumped in the wastebasket.
		Agnes is not the sort of person who would do well either in prison or in a mental institution; the best place for her would be the convent, where she could be supervised by people she knows and trusts (although we can see that their supervision is somewhat lacking at the moment).
		Whatever was going on, for some reason Agnes was also involved in the scheme and, with Sister Paul dying, seemed to have been sent to meet him in her place--suggesting it must have been pretty important, for Sister Paul to remember to do something about it as she lay dying.

	The Film Atheist Reviews - Agnes of God
		Sister Agnes, who suffers from one of those stage-and-screen-only mental illnesses that cause you to speak in meaningless but clever-sounding blurts, is found with a dead newborn and covered in blood.
		The basics: Sister Agnes, who is a loony of the first order, has a baby without any knowledge of sex nor with access to a man. That baby ends up dead without there ever being doubt that she killed it.
		Agnes of God doesn't have the courage to stick with its convictions.

		At its heart is an actual mystery: A psychiatrist, entrenched in the scientific method, is asked to evaluate the fitness for trial of a young nun who might have strangled her baby.

		The dramatic tension between the two women battling for Agnes' soul and her physical freedom is effectively done, never overdone, by the two performers.

	FABULOUS REVIEW: AGNES OF GOD by luna-id
		AGNES OF GOD tells the story of a young, simple-minded nun whose newborn child is found dead in a wastebasket in her room.
		AGNES is not concerned with the solution to the gruesome murder; it merely uses the suspense generated as the backdrop for a much wider debate between science and rationality on one hand, and religious faith on the other.
		Her Agnes was so cloying she was almost a torment to listen to.

	Agnes of God
		Agnes of God is a bold and unsettling drama.
		It is the story of a psychiatrist's efforts to ascertain the mental competence of a twenty-one year old nun charged with the murder of her newborn child.
		In the play, upon discovery of a strangled newborn baby in her wastebasket, Sister Agnes, a fragile, almost child-like character, professes no knowledge of the baby's birth or death, can offer no reason for the presence of its body in her room and, until hypnotized, claims to have no memory of ever being impregnated.

	StageSouth / Review: Young company stages psychological drama (Site not responding. Last check: )
		If ever a play deserved to be called a "psychological drama," it is "Agnes of God." The tag fits, not only because the plot revolves around the analysis of a young nun by a troubled psychiatrist, but also because playwright John Pielmeier constantly reminds us of the blurred line between sanity and madness.
		Agnes is a troubled young novice in a convent run by a kindly Mother Superior.
		When a newborn is found strangled in a trash can in Agnes' room, she is charged with manslaughter and sent to be evaluated for her fitness to stand trial by a psychiatrist with issues of her own.

		Agnes is an “other-wordly” creature who sees visions of her dead mother and of the Virgin Mary, and who obeys commands from both in equal measure; she’s an innocent who must blind herself to anything that would puncture the angelic world she has created around herself.

	Agnes of God
		Agnes of God is a grimy, dark drama set in a psychiatrist’s office; an apt place, given the questions that simmer furiously under the mysterious plot.
		For it is not long since Agnes has been discovered, unconscious, in her room, her newborn baby strangled and thrown into the wastepaper basket.
		The stage is set: a murder has been committed, Agnes appears guilty beyond doubt and only a plea of temporary insanity can now save her from imprisonment.

		It might have been impossible to convert "Agnes of God" from a play into a movie under any circumstances, since the intrinsic reality of film throws the play's conceits and contrivances into sharp relief.
		The police investigation indicates that the baby's mother, and possibly its murderer, was Sister Agnes (Meg Tilly), a young, simple-minded girl of total naivete.
		But of course (you argue) God also gave Sister Agnes free will, so she was free to kill the child no matter what the details of its conception.

		Agnes of God is a grimy, dark drama set in a psychiatrist’s office; where questions simmer furiously under the mystery of who killed Sister Agnes’ newborn baby?
		Sheila Draper is a feisty Mother Superior with some wonderful moments in her scenes with Agnes and newcomer Constance S. Hamilton presented a credible, well thought out first performance.
		Graves insight to the script really focused on the pathos of this young novice who truly was of God… and embraced her passionate faith while still allowing the relentless questions of the voice of Science to batter the voice of Religion.

	The Daily Colonial - Religion and Science collide in 'Agnes of God'
		But this obliviously naïve woman remains unaware of the accusations flying right in front of her, that she strangled her new-born baby with the umbilical cord and left it for dead in a waste-paper basket.
		Herein resides the central conflict in the Keegan Theater’s new production of John Pielmeier’s 1982 drama, “Agnes of God,” the story of three women who wrestle with their abilities to accept the presence of God in the face of what could be one of the Catholic Church’s greatest scandals.
		Based on a real-life incident at a convent outside Rochester, New York, “Agnes of God” brings strong focus to the central issues plaguing the Church today.

	Agnes of God (1985) - DVD Review » Needcoffee.com
		Agnes of God begins with a mystery: a novice nun has given birth to a child, but cannot remember ever being pregnant, much less identify the father or explain how the child died.
		Finally, Tilly as the touched Agnes is just wonderful, how her eyes never quite look completely at you, just toward you, as if she's living somewhere you cannot be and seeing things you cannot see.
		In short, Agnes of God is a solid piece of filmmaking that doesn't quite satisfy in a conventional way, but maybe that is not necessarily a bad thing.
