She's awesome! At least La Ciénaga. That movie blew my mind. It's decidedly Argentinian, and more than that, from the north of Argentina in a way that resonated a lot with me even if I don't belong to the social class explored. I would warn for class and race issues, though that's the whole point of it. I rarely like national cinema (though more and more lately--it's getting better all the time, at least when it doesn't attempt to imitate Hollywood but with less flair), and this movie made it to my favourites without even trying. It's very much a picture of a time place and a particular set of people.
