Filmmaker Stéphanie Argerich creates a portrait of her mother Martha Argerich, a world-renowned -- and intensely private -- pianist.

Geoffrey Macnab

Independent (UK)

Argerich gives a far more intimate, offbeat and complex portrait of an artist than could ever have been provided by any non family member.

Rated: 3/5

Wendy Ide

Times (UK)

A documentary made by a daughter about her mother, Argerich is a very personal take on a woman who is world famous for her talent as a musician, a pianist whose gift has made her public property.

Rated: 4/5

Compelling, immersive and claustrophobic Bloody Daughter unapologetically depicts the indulgence and sacrifice needed to give birth to genius. There's Chopin, his work needs to flow through a vassal and you are she; all else is secondary. And that's how it should be.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A depiction of an unusual family arrangement that glosses over its difficulties but ultimately loving.
