Fionnuala Halligan wrote in Screen Daily: "Amen is first and foremost a conceptual piece of work and viewers will either hop on or off Kim's train - small matters of logic or continuity won't matter to those who want to take the trip. ... Distinguishing the film is talented young Korean actress Kim Ye-na whose watchable, irregular, face draws you into Kim's obsessions."
