I Can Smell the Cordite is an intriguing documentary that plunges you into the stark reality of two GIs stuck in an underground bunker on Christmas Day during a tense period in Europe. It’s not your typical war film; the pacing is deliberate and contemplative, allowing viewers to really sit with the solitude and unease the soldiers feel. The atmosphere is thick with tension, amplified by practical effects that evoke a raw sense of place. You get a real sense of their camaraderie and loneliness, and the performances are understated but powerful. This film stands out in the way it captures a moment in time, presenting the mundane and the extraordinary side by side.
