Blessed by Fire Ratings & Reviews
Cinematical
Christopher Campbell
For an event rarely thought about outside of its involved countries, the film is a remarkable achievement.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The film equivalent of an adult contemporary song.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
The morbid and gripping war film Blessed by Fire is well worth a look.
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Louis Proyect
Bitter recollections of Argentina's ill-fated attempt to win control of the Malvinas from Great Britain.
Film Journal International
Lewis Beale
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.
WBAI Web Radio
Prairie Miller
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.
Variety
Jonathan Holland
Illuminated by Fire is a watchable if none-too-penetrating analysis of the traumatizing effects of a war largely forgotten.
Village Voice
Julia Wallace
Tristn Bauer's new war movie has an even more bitterly ironic title in Spanish: Iluminados por El Fuego or Enlightened by Fire.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The battlefield sequences unfold with surreal horror, while the human bonding in the foxholes emerges tenderly.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Tristan Bauer's film portrays the Falklands War in 1982 as a mismanaged, vainglorious spasm of nationalism.
