The Big Sick's reviews
Media reviews
Time Out
"Actor Kumail Nanjiani breaks out with an autobiographical girlfriend-in-a-coma comedy that signals his arrival to the top."
Variety
"Comedian and actor Kumail Nanjiani and writer Emily V. Gordon mine their personal history for laughs, heartache, and hard-earned insight in ?The Big Sick,? a film that?s by turns romantic, rueful, and hilarious."
Indiewire
?The Big Sick funnels the two sides of his career (Kumail) into a genuine crowdpleaser that juggles humor and pathos through a personal lens.
Vulture
"When The Big Sick is at its best, it captures with rare humor the weight of being Muslim in America."
The Playlist
"Mostly funny and sometimes heart-wrenching, Showwalter, Nanjiani, and Gordon collaborate comfortably, finding laughs in the more dire moments."
