The Big Sick follows Pakistan-born aspiring comedian Kumail who connects with grad student Emily after one of his standup sets. What they thought would be just a one-night stand, however, blossoms into the real thing, which complicates the life that is expected of Kumail by his traditional Muslim parents. When Emily is beset with a mystery illness, Kumail is forced to navigate the medical crisis with Emily's parents, while dealing with the emotional tug-of-war between his family and his heart. Part drama and part comedy, this is a very touching film with the perspective of the struggle of those from another culture. I give it a strong 8. Stars Kumail Nanjani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter and Ray Romano.
