The breakthrough role by Kumail Nanjiani in The Big Sick has been a game-changer for rom-coms and the underrepresentation of diversity in Hollywood. Based on his real-life relationship with his wife, Emily V. Gordon, Nanjiani plays himself in a story about culture, illness, and love. What stands out is how he elegantly balances humor with poignant moments without relying on clichés. Zoe Kazan also shines in a great performance, making one of the most interesting couples in recent rom-com history.
