The distinction here is 'truth'. This is a real tale, written about real personalities and events and moments, but The Big Sick is imbued with a gentle understanding of what makes itself effective for the silver screen. It's achingly aware of the story's limitations, the balancing act between comedy and drama, and its gradual moral resolve. But above all else, the film never attempts a certain level of vérité or overt naturalism. It moves and plays with a tremendous amount of grace, especially in an early relationship montage which moves like a little snapshot of liquid feeling, and it commits to the realities of the situation, but never to a fault.

Holly Hunter’s performance is mesmerizing. The whole film is hugely entertaining and emotional and funny, but what she does with the role is somehow ethereal.
Me alegra tanto haberla visto sin saber nada. Cuando pasaron los créditos y me di cuenta de que era una historia real actuada por el mismo que la vivió me emocioné muchísimo, no creo que eso sea un spoiler, verdad?
Creo que podría describir a esta película como sincera. De verdad sentí empatía por el protagonista y la historia me pareció hermosa. Cada aspecto que mencionó la trama, como el amor, la familia y la cultura, me fascinó.
El guión me pareció magnífico. La verdad me esperaba una comedia, pero me encontré con un drama sobre alguien que hace comedia y lloré en varios momentos tanto como me reí.
Me encantan estas sorpresas en donde ves una película de la que no sabes nada y de la que prejuzgas por su aspecto como algo palomero equis, y terminas amándola.
I was pretty invested in the characters and thought the whole arc was told well. Writing is shaky for brief times but is largely overcome by solid performances by the leading cast
