Review of The Big Sick (2017) by Yash B — 27 Jul 2017
"The Big Sick" is a great movie that works on every level. As a comedy, it is probably one of the funniest and well-written ones out there. I honestly can't think of one joke that fell flat and most of them had me laughing, and laughing hard.
As a drama, it is one that tugs at your heart strings and feels very grounded in reality. The performances are good all around and the actors are all able to ride this line of drama and comedy exceptionally well.
Kumail Nanjiani is someone I've known about but haven't really followed too much in the past. This movie definitely got me interested in seeing what else he's been involved with and any other future projects he is a part of.
While he was great, I thought everyone else was too. The characters all had something to offer. The tonal shifts in the movie can be a bit jarring at times but overall I enjoyed both aspects of this film a whole lot.
It's a unique romantic comedy that also will make you feel something. The movie also handles cultural differences and diversity in modern society in a really clever and genuine way. I am really hoping these more people get a chance to see this movie, it truly is one of the year's best.
It's a one of a kind movie that is hilarious, heartfelt, and timely.
