David F @dfulmer 1d A very well-made, if sad, documentary about poetry and cancer. See more Nate S @smithn1124 Jul 12 Come See Me in the Good Light was warm, uplifting, and real, and though I don’t think it has the juice to take on the political docs it’ll be competing against at the Oscars, its celebration of the life and work of Andrea Gibson deserves that love. See more Vixo S @vixo_six Jun 11 Come See Me in the Good Light is an intimate and restrained documentary about love, illness, poetry and the meaning of time when the future becomes fragile. Ryan White avoids turning pain into spectacle, choosing instead to stay close to conversations, silences and the small spaces where people try to give shape to fear. Its greatest strength is the use of language. Words become a way to process reality, preserve connection and keep creating even when life feels uncertain. The film is less interested in illness as tragedy than in how people continue to live, love and make meaning within it. Its slow and contemplative rhythm can create distance, and the story may not move every viewer with the same immediacy. Still, its honesty gives it value. It leaves a quiet reflection on art, affection and the courage of loving when time is limited. See more Christian M @chriss17eu Jun 1 'Come See Me in the Light' has emotional intentions and genuinely human moments, but I never fully connect with it. I understand the protagonists and feel some sympathy for them, yet I remain emotionally distant throughout the film. Because of that disconnect, the pacing feels heavier than it actually is, turning the experience into one dominated by apathy rather than involvement. The only element that personally resonates with me is Andrea Gibson’s connection to poetry, which reminds me of my girlfriend. Still, it’s only a small emotional spark within an otherwise indifferent experience. See more Natalie B @NattyB89 May 30 A true dichotomy of emotion and love persevering. Andrea and Megan were so brave, and faced a life limiting illness together with a beauty and grace that was inspirational. A truly gifted poet and a video legacy that I will come back to again, a wonderful reminder of what truly matters in this world, which is love and connection in your darkest moments See more Trish C @TrishConners05 Apr 25 I cried, I learned, I cried again.
