"Anybody who thinks poetry is frivolous has never needed someone to tell them something devastating, beautifully."
The HoundJan 27, 2025Imagine, when a human dies, the soul misses the body, actually grieves the loss of its hands and all they could hold. Misses the throat closing shy reading out loud on the first day of school. Imagine the soul misses the stubbed toe, the loose tooth, the funny bone.…

We're so lucky to have the people who remind us that life is full. Whether they're the partners by our side, the poets who articulate our truths, or the filmmakers who put it all together.

This blew me away. The honesty and vulnerability that Andrea Gibson shares in this documentary is frankly life-changing. To hear the wisdom and life experience that they share with the audience is so profoundly moving. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I think this film really changed the way I…
Jen likedCome See Me in the Good LightThis is such a powerful documentary. And that only focuses on love, it focuses on life, body image, and push pushing through it might be difficult. It makes you laugh, and smile, and question how you see things, and might even make you cry as well.
Ani N. lovedCome See Me in the Good LightAmazing documentary. Starts out slow but slowly burrows itself under your skin. You go through a whole range of emotions with this couple and will likely discover something about yourself along the way.

White smartly weaves Gibson’s evolution as a poet and performer, commanding stages like a rockstar –“we called them the gay James Dean,” Falley jokes – with their hopes to stage one final show, a celebration of life before their death.

Learning about Gibson’s ‘roid rage from their treatment, and Falley’s acceptance of it, is a more moving example of their care for one another than much of what the film finds in their shared profession.

The movie is more than an admonition for the living; it’s also an achingly bittersweet love story about caregiving.
