No one is more shocked than me at how much I enjoyed The Big Sick. It rises above and beyond the boring and generic rom-coms that we’re subjected to year in year out. Powerful, heart-warming and highly emotional.

Based on the real life relationship between Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon. From the moment their relationship blossoms to the difficulties arising from their contrasting families you can’t help but become fully invested in this story. The chemistry between the two main characters is electric. Although it drags a little in the middle and I don’t know what they were thinking when they came up with the title I loved The Big Sick. It’s got drama, romance, plenty of awkwardly comedic moments and if it could melt my cold heart then there’s no reason why you shouldn’t see it. Highly recommended.
