Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami Reviews
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
Still, the sight of the ominously androgynous floating fortress with legs to spare in her civvies alone is worth the price of admission.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
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.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Dan DeLuca
The movie clocks in at just under two hours and feels considerably longer. As it ticks on, it achieves an unlikely and perhaps not entirely unintentional feat: It makes Grace Jones kind of boring.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Unfortunately, Jones is alone here, forced to carry the film without much help from the director.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
If you desire a female empowering musical manifesto with both claws and kisses, here it is.
The Young Folks
Kristen Lopez
If you're interested in learning about Grace Jones this is not for you. It's an art project to play over Jones' show.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The offstage sequences can be revealing - in one scene, Jones recalls the abusive step-grandfather who inspired her aggressive musical persona- but director Sophie Fiennes sets such a languid pace that the songs can't come soon enough.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
The non-chronological editing oddly makes Jones look as if she's everywhere at once, unbounded by the laws of time and space that ordinary mortals are subject to.
TheWrap
Dave White
Two hours of contrasts that inform one another: sweat-inducing concert footage, intimate family reunion moments, steel-spine business negotiations, recording-studio drama, and a steadfast commitment to personal glamour.
NPR
Scott Tobias
Fiennes does achieve a level of intimacy and candor with Jones that's uncommon for documentaries about figures who control their images this closely.
New York Times
Wesley Morris
The documentary is a feat of portraiture and a restoration of humanity. It's got the uncanny, the sublime, and, in many spots, a combination of both.
Eugene Weekly (OR)
Molly Templeton
[Director Sophie] Fiennes' unconventional film is far less concerned with the story of Grace Jones than with the person that is Grace Jones - and it is a treat to get to spend two hours with her.
Film Threat
Norman Gidney
You can't deny talent, and Fiennes delivers a front row look at a force of nature that is raw and powerful.
Slant Magazine
Keith Uhlich
The effect of Sophie Fiennes's unmoored approach to her subject is to take us out of normal time and put us on Grace Jones time.
Cinemacy
Morgan Rojas
Approach this film with an open mind and prepare for it to get blown away by the wildly wonderful Grace Jones.
Jaredmobarak.com
Jared Mobarak
It's so dense and yet somehow incomplete-as though we're watching the abridged theatrical version of a ten part series.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
This unique, 10-year in the making slice-of-life documentary may not be what her most ardent followers crave. But it's something.
Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Dalton
Fiennes rejects rock-doc conventions like talking heads, archive footage and linear narrative. Which is commendably bold on one level, but may leave some viewers scratching their heads and craving a little more context.
San Diego CityBeat
Glenn Heath Jr.
More personal diary than history lesson, this woozy doc oscillates between scenes of public performances and private conversations, offering greater insight into Jones' work ethic and family history... The late Jonathan Demme would have been proud.
Andscape
Soraya Nadia McDonald
Frankly, Bloodlight and Bami is an unstructured mess, but it does a fair job of contextualizing [Grace] Jones' art through her Jamaican roots.
