Reviews for Blessed by Fire
1 - 10 (sorted by critic A-Z)
For an event rarely thought about outside of its involved countries, the film is a remarkable achievement.

The film equivalent of an adult contemporary song.

The battlefield sequences unfold with surreal horror, while the human bonding in the foxholes emerges tenderly.

Top CriticBitter recollections of Argentina's ill-fated attempt to win control of the Malvinas from Great Britain.
