An unexpectedly funny and joyful love story, poets Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley navigate life and mortality in the face of an incurable diagnosis.

Lisa Kennedy

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.

White’s film is a slick, heartfelt portrait of two artists and soulmates going through the worst life has to offer and feeling every moment of it as deeply as they possibly can.

Moveable Fest

[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.

Next Best Picture

It can’t be stressed enough how emotionally impactful “Come See Me in the Good Light” is. It doesn’t stray away from the difficulties and hardships inherent in the circumstances of Gibson’s situation, but it also doesn’t mire itself in them either.

Rated: 9/10

POV Magazine

The best films that deal with death turn their attention to life and this film is no different. In doing so, it provides refreshing space to experience grief, joy, and heartache, but above all: love.
