Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley laugh on the ground with their two dogs between them, Sundance Film Festival 2025 is on the side
Movie Reviews

Sundance 2025: ‘Come See Me in the Good Light’ Is More Than Andrea Gibson’s Cancer Story — It’s Their Love Story

This film isn’t a straight-forward artist portrait. It’s a portrait of Gibson and their partner, fellow poet Megan Falley, as they navigate Gibson’s incurable cancer diagnosis. It’s a tender look at two queer people in love and a celebration of the desire to live.
