Reviews for Blessed by Fire
1 - 10 (sorted by fresh rating)
Top CriticFor an event rarely thought about outside of its involved countries, the film is a remarkable achievement.
09/18/07
Illuminated by Fire is a watchable if none-too-penetrating analysis of the traumatizing effects of a war largely forgotten.
03/21/07
Tristán Bauer's new war movie has an even more bitterly ironic title in Spanish: Iluminados por El Fuego or Enlightened by Fire.
03/21/07
Even though Blessed by Fire is undoubtedly well-made and sincere in its efforts to shine a light on this farcical episode, it also doesn't add anything to the "war is hell" genre.
03/22/07
Bitter recollections of Argentina's ill-fated attempt to win control of the Malvinas from Great Britain.
03/22/07
As a Falklands vet is faced with the brutal realization of the tragic futility of war and its aftermath, old wounds are opened and bleed metaphorically into the present.
03/21/07
Tristan Bauer's film portrays the Falklands War in 1982 as a mismanaged, vainglorious spasm of nationalism.
03/21/07
Top CriticThe battlefield sequences unfold with surreal horror, while the human bonding in the foxholes emerges tenderly.
03/21/07
The film equivalent of an adult contemporary song.
