Critics reviews

The film, astutely directed by Sepúlveda, uses the rugged terrain to compliment and symbolize the women's complex emotions. While they enjoy their life out in the wild, they realize it will change, and react accordingly. What transpires provides the film with its powerful climax. Meanwhile, there are breathtaking vistas and beautiful shots of water and cliffs that reflect the distinct personalities of each sister.

Most of "Quispe" slowly imbues a depopulated, undeveloped landscape with a dread as palpable as the constantly swirling dust; it'd also be far more compacted and morbidly terrifying at half the length.

...An occasional visitor confirms a police-state atmosphere and widespread arrests in the city, and the women learn that a new "erosion" law threatens their livelihood since it requires killing goats to reduce grazing. Hopeless about the future, the women resort to an extreme solution, as bluntly and unsentimentally presented as the rest of this bleak, unforgettable image of primal existence.

The isolation of the sisters, their feeling of disconnection with the outside world, and their longing for a sexual connection that they fear will never materialize, plays out like a tragedy against the political drama in which they are ensnared. They worry that police will kill their animals, but this becomes part of the growing tragedy of their daily lives. The Quispe Girls is a powerful film that, had the title not already been taken, could have justifiably been called All Is Lost.
