  • Summary: An Argentinian military drama in the tradition of "Full Metal Jacket" and "Coming Home," Blessed By Fire is the story of two young men sent to fight the 1982 war in the Falkland Islands (or as they are known in Argentina, the Malvinas) who return home bearing the brutal scars of war.

  1. 70
    The morbid and gripping war film Blessed by Fire, from the Argentine filmmaker Tristán Bauer, is well worth a look.
  2. Blessed by Fire, a bitter remembrance of the Falklands War in 1982, captures battlefield chaos and confusion with a visceral force you won't forget.
  3. 60
    A watchable if none-too-penetrating analysis of the traumatizing effects of a war largely forgotten.
