Screen International

Director Ryan White’s film is an emotional viewing experience that was completed before Gibson’s passing, its moving centrepiece the poet’s long-term loving relationship with fellow writer Megan Falley.

[Gibson's] assertively affirmative outlook doesn't really brook tears, and the filmmaker's warmth and humor, even in times of despair, gives the story a radiance that makes mundane moments feel precious, while allowing hopeful moments to raise goosebumps.

If there is any doubt that art can immortalize the soul, let the words read throughout the film convince you otherwise.

Come See Me in the Good Light is about the ways we connect to those around us, and Gibson knew how to squeeze every ounce of life out of their moment on Earth.

A raw reminder of the fragility of life, this film is a rare window into tender love and the vulnerable expression of deep emotions when words fail, even for a poet laureate.
