Agnes of God

Agnes of God (1985) starring Jane Fonda, Anne Bancroft, Meg Tilly. A young nun (Tilly) gives birth to a baby in the convent and then, apparently, murders the baby. A court-appointed psychiatrist (Fonda) is sympathetic, but finds no easy answers. Based on a stage play, the film is only partially satisfying, leaving many questions unanswered. Still, three strong performances from the lead actresses make this a movie worth viewing. (English subtitles are available, as well as closed captions.) Grade: B
