A poignant new documentary film called Come See Me in the Good Light is now available to watch on the Apple TV subscription service. You can get a seven-day free trial for new sign-ups here.
This is the latest Apple TV movie that the company acquired from the Sundance film festival. It follows a poet, Andrea Gibson, who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Gibson resolves to live the rest of her life to the fullest.
Directed by Ryan White, the film follows Gibson and her partner Megan Falley, on this journey, as they race the inevitable together. Gibson says at one point “my story is about happiness being easier to find once we realise we do not have forever to find it”.
Gibson faces her future with confidence and vitality. The movie does not shy away from showcasing their brutal honesty, and dark humor. Even despite this, the film also includes very intimate moments like doctor visits and rounds of chemotherapy treatment.
Come See Me in the Good Light won the audience Festival Favorite award at the 2025 Sundance festival, in January. Gibson subsequently passed away in August. Perhaps fittingly for a film about celebrating the fullness of life, the final cut of the movie does not reference this development at all.
You can watch Come See Me in the Good Light with an Apple TV subscription. Use the Apple TV app on your preferred device to log in and watch. The app is available on Apple hardware, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, smart TVs, and more. You can also watch in a web browser at tv.apple.com.
