November 13, 2025- In Come See Me in the Good Light, Apple TV invites us into a world where love and laughter rise against the shadow of mortality. Andrea Gibson, a poet whose words have long carried the weight of activism and tenderness, faces the unrelenting truth of a cancer diagnosis. Yet with Megan Falley by their side, the journey becomes less about endings and more about illumination.
The film, directed by Ryan White and embraced by audiences at Sundance, is not simply a documentary, it is a hymn to resilience. Though the film moves with a quiet, deliberate rhythm, it fulfills the promise of its title—revealing life in the good light it was meant to shine. Awards follow, but what lingers is the image of two poets turning pain into purpose, finding humor in the ordinary, and weaving joy into the fabric of each day.
Mailbox repairs, shared laughter, and quiet moments of devotion become metaphors for living fully in the time that remains. The camera lingers not on despair, but on the radiance of love, reminding us that even in the face of mortality, life can be celebrated as a luminous gift.
Ultimately, Come See Me in the Good Light invites audiences into moments of vulnerability and strength, serving as a love letter to life itself. This Thanksgiving season, whether surrounded by family, friends, or simply enjoying quiet reflection, the film offers a reminder of gratitude: why cherishing our blessings and nurturing our environment helps us grow. So, pour a glass of wine or water, and spend a few hours celebrating togetherness, resilience, and the legacy of Andrea Gibson.
Come See Me in the Good Light streams on Apple TV beginning November 14, 2025. To learn more about Chris and Will, visit chrisandwill.com and tune in to their podcast What About Their Life? on iHeartRadio.
