Imagine, 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. The soul still asks, why does the funny bone do that? It’s just weird. Imagine the soul misses the thirsty garden cheeks watered by grief. Misses how the body could sleep through a dream. What else can sleep through a dream? What else can laugh? What else can wrinkle the smile’s autograph? Imagine the soul misses each falling eyelash waiting to be a wish. Misses the wrist screaming away the blade. The…

The dogs were so cute! I can’t talk about any other part of this documentary or I’ll start crying again.

Had to pause this a couple times to hysterically sob and text every single person in my life about how much I love them

Made me sad and cry lots! Starting the movie knowing she had passed away, and then watching the through line of her consistently expressing not wanting to die was so hard. Even though I don’t really fully understand spoken word poetry and it often doesn’t resonate with me, this was beautiful. The Bucket List poem was my favorite. Rest in peace Andrea Gibson 😭

Andrea and Meg’s story was sad and uplifting and human and everything I needed from a documentary. Also, yay for justice for mailboxes as a great supporting character 😆

Most diabolical use of The Story by Brandi Carlile I have ever witnessed. I started crying within the first 10 seconds of seeing Andreas face and didn’t stop for the whole run time. No one fucking talk to me

When I think of the many parts of this documentary that were overflowing with joy and love, I can almost forget how much I was sobbing through it all.

a pretty quotable documentary about love, loss, and preemptive grief. I just wish I was more of a non-fiction guy than I actually am. This took me so freaking long to finish omg

Does it suffice to say that I cried for 2/3 of the runtime?

that my death would, in many ways, just make them more of who they are. i think the most potent feeling one can have is the pit inside our stomachs rolling around like a sphere catching ink in a ball pen, we gave it a name, a name that could rival life and in the same vein encapsulate love, we called it grief, grief before, grief current, grief after, and it’s a miracle that in that grief we rediscover all…

Beautiful display of the lengths we go to just get one more beautiful moment with the people we love. RIP Andrea, and all the love to Meg for carrying so much of the weight with them.

May we all find love and bravery in this life like Andrea Gibson’s and Megan Falley’s. So devastating to sit through, so beautiful to sit through, and so funny to sit through. I’m not big on poetry at all but Andrea’s poems were just so powerful and profound, they were a real talent and light in this world. Of course I lost it big time when Brandi’s ‘The Story’ started playing. So glad to see this won at Sundance.

• feels antithetical to give a rating but i really loved this • what a gift to see a glimpse of someone in their power and purpose and witness how they’re defining loving and living and to see the way that cycle continues through their loved ones • also their dogs are sooooooooo cuuuteeeee • really beautiful, hugged my heart

A documentary about dying of cancer can be heavy stuff and sure there is heavy and very sad moments to this but what pervades so.kuch more of it is the joy and love and beauty of life and living that life as full as possible. The moment that stood out for me was hearing Andreas heartbeat straight after they came off stage for the final time, a moment of pure humanity from an source we so rarely get to hear unfiltered if at all. Beautiful and painful.

Equally heartbreaking and inspiring. The grace and perspective that Andrea Gibson was capable of in their darkest moments is astounding.

i watched this because i was finally in the mood to cry on purpose and boy did i pick the right thing to watch! tomorrow would’ve been andrea gibson’s 51st birthday, a coincidence that I didn’t realize until after looking them up after the documentary ended. I knew going into the documentary that Andrea had passed (over a year ago now), but knowing they’re already gone made the entire thing so bittersweet. watching andrea talk about their hope to live…

no because why did we watch this in class and we all cried together. saddest movie maybe ever made??

A stunning portrayal of grief, love and the unrelenting beauty of life. Watching Meg and Andrea communicate and deepen their love of each other while experiencing unthinkable hardship and pain was deeply inspiring and breathtaking to witness.

TThom Hetherington 8 月 7, 2026
Such grace. Such incredible grace. When there are no words there is always poetry. And Brandi Carlile and Sara Bareilles. I welcomed the release of the big feelings this brought, and the reminder that too muchness is actually just the right amount.

Laughed and cried. Didn’t know who Andrea was but and really enjoyed learning about her story, I feel like it’s one that will stay with me… every second of life is precious.

Christ this was an absolutely brutal watch. I’m a bad lesbian and I’m not very family with Andrea Gibson’s work but this fundamentally changed me and made me such a fan. Reminded me a lot of Ross Gay’s catalogue of unabashed gratitude. Every moment is a gift, everything is love, and this was a gut punch reminder to cherish it all.

Poetry is so precious, like love, good health, and life itself. This is a portrait of all of the above in the most vulnerable, brutal, and touching display. My little heart 🫠

no one better to watch this with than a lesbian who absolutely loathes the concepts of being friends with their ex also they way we were expected to watch this absolutely devastating film and go to lesbian line dancing immediately after

[Not going to try and be pretentiously critical] Gorgeous and very raw, octopoidal 😉 and full of mailbox debacles. The messages regarding love and life and suicide hit home and I could appreciate the other ones from afar. Some reviews say the documentary relied too much on Andrea and Meg’s own genius, the work being mainly full of their monologues without much else added – I for one prefer it that way. I want this work to be a further…

i don’t even really have the words to write a review for this because of how truly beautiful it was. when you come to terms with how much of a blessing it is to be able to breathe even a single breath of air, you think about every future breath you will take in a different way. and i think this documentary really encapsulates that. the portion of this film that discussed how a bucket list doesn’t have to be…

I love queer people & queer love!!!!! I love thinking abt grief and dying and the ways that it can open us up to living more fully and feeling more deeply even as the inevitability of it terrifies me and I can’t always hold the grief of those I have lost so gracefully. what a gift Andrea Gibson is I remember stumbling upon a free performance of theirs when I was 19 and also deep in the trenches of gender and mental health it has been so special to watch their thinking and processing in other phases of their life as well including its end ❤️🩹

“At the very least” really destroyed me. This was simply so beautiful and tender and heartbreaking and alive and more than anything it reminded me how precious life is. I watched this on a plane sitting next to my wife, and after we landed, I googled Andrea to see that they passed away July 14, 2025, the day after we got married. Since watching, I’ve been holding her closer and reminding myself how grateful I am for every moment with…

“Come See Me in the Good Light mostra o lado público de Andrea Gibson, a sua intensidade e profunda humanidade, especialmente quando cogita a possibilidade de fazer um último espetáculo enquanto processa a ideia de nunca poder sentir a dor e o dom de envelhecer, mas também o seu lado mais pessoal e lúdico, com uma energia leve que nem sempre aparece no palco e pela qual Falley se apaixonou. Momentos deste género revelam como, mesmo nos dias mais difíceis, permanecia sempre um impulso para rir.” Crítica completa | Fio Condutor

Eu não esperava ficar completamente em prantos quando eu comecei a assistir esse aqui, que documentário mais lindooo. É impossível ser uma pessoa LGBT, amar a literatura, viver de poesia e não se emocionar com essa história aqui. Recomendo demais, e preparem os lencinhos. Fico triste em conhecer a Andrea e sua arte tarde demais para acompanhá-la, sinto que eu teria sido um grande fã.

Funny, touching, life affirming. A goddamn tragedy that Gibson’s end is the introduction for many (including myself) to a truly delightful human being. Everyone should see this.

I desperately hope that if I am to face this sort of health challenge in my life that I will handle it with an ounce of the grace, humour, and strength of character portrayed here.

grief is a portal and this movie is a portal to that portal.

This was pretty good. I don’t know if I want to know if Andrea Gibson is still alive or not. Maybe I can find a book of her poems and not find out.
