9/2/17 review of film The Big Sick, dir. by Michael Showalter

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the film The Big Sick, directed by Michael Showalter.

The thread gives a summary of the film and some context on the star and co-screenwriter (with Emily V. Gordon), Kumail Nanjiani. The thread discusses the film's different levels and the core emotional dynamics. It discusses the love between Kumail and Emily. It discusses the family relationships in the film. And it discusses the performances in the film.

I saw this film at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema's Sloans Lake theater in Denver, Colorado.
