An entertaining and deeply felt film.July 19, 2017
The year's best comedy, an Annie Hall for the age of ISIS.July 03, 2017
"The Big Sick" suffers from an excess of pleasantness, and this very pleasantness thins out its substance, blands out its tone, weakens its comedy.July 20, 2017
Plagiarising their real life experiences on the road to romance, Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon have written a screenplay that oozes with the black comedy of life, which is of course the good oil of strong comedy.July 17, 2017
The Big Sick is funny but not laugh-out-loud hysterical, and it's moving but not enough to bring you to tears.July 07, 2017
"The Big Sick" has a big heart and shows there are still corners left to explore in romantic comedies; it just takes someone willing to find them.July 20, 2017
The Big Sick works because its humor feels effortless and true, and the laughs spring out of genuine tragedy.June 30, 2017
All the best romantic comedies get even better upon repeat viewings. I'm fully confident The Big Sick will pass that test the next time I see it, which will be very soon.July 06, 2017
"The Big Sick" has a lot of charm.July 11, 2017
It's funny, touching, and perceptive.July 05, 2017
Mostly, the movie works for the reason that all the best rom-coms do: you fall in love, a little bit, with Kumail and Emily, and want them to stay together.
