Buenos Aires, November 2001. Argentina is embroiled in crisis, with the peso plunging deeper and deeper. Julio Färber, the charismatic bandoneon player of the "Vecinos de Pompeya," a five-piece working-class tango band, is trying to keep his head above water, but every month he is earning less and less from their gigs as well as from the traditional shoe shop he inherited from his father. At the very moment, he takes the decision to leave his beloved Buenos Aires forever, it clearly appears that life is conspiring against him: overnight, the government freezes all bank accounts in the whole country, preventing Julio from purchasing the flight tickets and sparking violent protests throughout the town. And Mariela, a witty young woman, and feisty cab driver, bumps into his car at full speed, damaging Julio's last possession of value before stealing his heart....

Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times A fresh and hopeful perspective, in which humor frequently intrudes. [Full review in Spanish] May 25, 2024 Full Review Samantha Schuster Cinéfilo Serial It is a very nice film, which despite at times trying to cover too many topics, manages to move and entertain the viewer (both local and foreign) with a nostalgic story of roots. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Ayla Ruby Loud and Clear Reviews German Kral’s tango-filled film Adiós Buenos Aires is a tale of music, love, yearning, and societal collapse in Argentina. Rated: 4/5 Oct 20, 2024 Full Review Luis Bond Diario las Américas "Adiós Buenos Aires" reminds us that migrating means exchanging some anxieties for others and that we—and not politicians or external circumstances— ultimately build our homes. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 May 9, 2024 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Strong production values add lovely visual textures that add to the film's engaging style. And the script takes a bittersweet approach to the narrative, exploring conflicting emotions in a wide range of characters. Rated: 3.5/5 May 7, 2024 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Engrossing, gentle and sweet, but slightly contrived, unfocused and sugar-coated. Apr 29, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
