"There's no real grounding to Fiennes's method. Indeed, there are moments (especially in the Jamaica-set sequences, in which Jones near-fully blends in among her family, friends, and community) where it seems as if we're watching a whole other human being-one who never attained stardom, but only dreamed it. The effect, finally, of Fiennes's unmoored approach to her subject is to take us out of normal time and put us on Grace Jones time. A true star moves through life to the tick of their own clock"

"Grace Jones, the imposing 1970s-'80s singer, style icon, and costar with Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Conan the Destroyer" (1984) will be 70 next month, but you wouldn't know it from the way she commands the stage in the immersive documentary "Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami" by Sophie Fiennes ("The Pervert's Guide to Cinema"). Clad in a carapace-like leotard, sometimes masked or wearing outlandish headgear, clashing cymbals, or spinning a hula hoop, she rips through vintage hits like "Pull Up to the Bumper" and a breast-exposing "Warm Leatherette" with leonine, if sometimes absurd, authority ... To provide context, Fiennes relies on passing cues, and for the casual viewer it's easy to get lost ... Perhaps Fiennes's intent is to draw the viewer into the solipsistic intensity of what it is to be Grace Jones. It is a bracing experience, because she is hedonistic, exultant, funny, and fierce"

Filmvurdering
Der er ikke ret meget glamour, når Grace er hjemme hos familien og når hun indspiller musik i et lille studie på Jamaica. De hverdagsagtige situationer står i skarp kontrast til de højt performede shows, hvor masker og hatte og vild make-up dominerer. Det er et fascinerende, men også lidt fragmenteret portræt, der kun delvist samler brikkerne til et helt billede af sangerinden, der har holdt sit publikum tæt i over 40 år
