🎬 Come See Me in the Good Light

Main Cast 🎭 Andrea Gibson, Megan Falley, Tig Notaro

🎬 "Come See Me in the Good Light" (2025) is a luminous and deeply moving documentary that captures the final year in the life of celebrated genderqueer poet laureate Andrea Gibson. Far from being a traditional tragedy about illness, the film focuses on the radiant love story between Andrea and their wife, fellow poet Megan Falley, as they navigate Andrea's terminal ovarian cancer diagnosis. Produced by Tig Notaro, the documentary is filled with unexpected humor, wit, and a fierce commitment to joy.The film's emotional core is the partnership of two poets who use language to make sense of the unthinkable. Director Ryan White beautifully weaves Andrea’s spoken-word performances with intimate domestic moments—sharing coffee, playing with their dogs, and the quiet, sacred rituals of caregiving. It is a story about the "good light"—the perspective one gains when time is limited. It captures Andrea’s triumphant return to the stage for one final performance, proving that even as the body fails, the voice remains invincible. It’s a profound celebration of life that leaves the audience not just in tears, but with a renewed desire to live fully. 🎬
