The central character feels uniquely portrayed, and while Eve Victor gives a solid performance, I didn’t truly connect with it. It becomes clear relatively early on that her “Agnes” has experienced some past hardship, and now, in her late twenties, she holds a teaching position in a small, rural area where she appears to be living alone. This changes when her friend “Lydia” (Naomie Ackie) arrives for a visit; Lydia and her girlfriend are expecting a child, which seems to stir up a previously quiet feeling of isolation within "Agnes." Throughout this visit, and afterward, the story shifts between different points in time as we discover more about both women, especially "Agnes," and the narrative puts us through an emotionally draining experience. There's some humor present, but it’s not laugh-out-loud funny—more of a relatable, observational style that is often buried by excessive dialogue. The story also veers into melodrama too frequently, particularly as it falls into a pit of self-pity that isn’t really grounded in well-developed characters I could like. Ultimately, I believe my problem with “Agnes” was this: I couldn't empathize with her, even considering the severity of what happened to her. Though her reactions are understandable, she came across as somewhat too focused on herself. To be honest, I felt rather underwhelmed and detached throughout the entire film.
