Review of The Big Sick (2017) by Anuj & A — 26 Jul 2017
Endearing, funny, and thought provoking. "The Big Sick" was way better than advertised. Another excellent film from Amazon studios.
Kumail Nanjiani & Emily V. Gordon tell their fantastic story in a refreshingly tight and well produced script. The performances from Kazan and Nanjiani will keep you drawn into this film and it's characters. Never assuming the audience is too dumb to understand what's going on - the themes of love, understanding, and hope all come across so beautifully that you can't help but fall in love with all the characters involved.
Sporting one of Ray Romano's best performances to date - him and Holly Hunter play off of each other almost better than Nanjiani and Kazan. Breaking the mold of the standard "Rom-Com" the cast, under the guiding eye of Michael Showalter ("Wet Hot American Summer", "Signs") the movie from start to finish flows beautifully between drama and comedy that the movie becomes the emotional roller coaster it was intended to be while providing a keen perspective into the lives of Gen-y and millennials issues in dealing with the archaic social "rules" that have no place in modern society.
It's just a really good movie with a great message that will leave you with a smile. Go check it out.
