Gibson, along with their partner, fellow poet Megan Falley, struggle with physical and emotional stresses as they confront hard truths in this compassionate, intimate and beautifully lensed film by Ryan White.

Variety

The film invites us to ask ourselves: What is poetry? How does it make meaning? Why does it offer solace like so few other art forms? All this ruminating takes place even as we are transfixed by Gibson and Falley.

“Come See Me in the Good Light” makes viewers hope Gibson and Falley get to spend many tomorrows together. Like Gibson’s poems, this film delivers hope and goosebumps in equal measure.

[Lets] the compassion the two show in their daily lives towards one another carry weight more than any single moment, a lovely tribute to a couple that has come to see even the most mundane of them as precious.
