Synopsis

A Bolivian Andean midwife's apprentice, bound by ancestral tradition, pursues her dream of becoming a singer in the city.

Moviegoers are saying

Audiences are split between awe and frustration: reviewers repeatedly praise the painterly, nighttime cinematography and the quiet, grounded performances, with one calling every frame of the Bolivian countryside 'legitimately a painting.' Skeptics find the film visually gorgeous but hollow, arguing that its script never settles on a story and leans on stereotypes of rural life. Bolivian viewers respond most personally, with one calling it a 'carta de amor a las raíces' (a love letter to one's roots).

TIFF ‘25 #6 Possibly the prettiest TIFF debut this year, The Condor Daughter is the realist (and humanist) piece I needed at the festival. Reminds me of late-style Kiarostami, which is a big compliment coming from me. Few pacing issues, especially in its first act, but…

Really loved this. Starts as what seems like a conventional but sweet tale of a young woman trying to pursue her dreams despite her mother's vision for her, but slowly reveals itself to be something much deeper---a mediation on stewardship and how the things we give life to…

Bolivian cinema for export. The beauty of quality. Its beautifully shot. The images and the shy quiet direction. Bolivian cine is written in a way we dont speak. The prose like way of saying word. Specially people from those communities. Its beautiful how they told this sad…

La pelicula es visualmente bonita y muy bien actuada, pero esta tan vacia... Presenta un claro conflicto entre el progreso y las tradiciones, y te muestra claramente lo malo de las tradiciones, mientras que del progreso solo te dice "bueno tambien esta mal supongo" y al…

I give this one 5 stars for the visuals alone, some of the best cinematography I may have ever seen. At first I thought it may just be because of the beautiful setting of the mountainous Bolivian countryside, where every frame legitimately looks like a painting, but then we…

se siente como una carta de amor a las raíces y también al dolor de crecer lejos de ellas. tiene una melancolía muy humana, muy silenciosa, como el eco de alguien que extraña su hogar incluso cuando sigue caminando. es una película con un corazón enorme. qué orgullo ser…

Intentando visibilizar una cultura, cayó profundamente en estereotipos molestos, además de que nunca se define realmente que historia intenta contar. Mucha fotografía para tan poco guión
