Critics Hailed These Movies the Best of the 2010 Decade

The Big Sick (2017)

Aspiring comedian Kumail (Kumail Nanjiani) finds himself caught between two worlds when a one-night stand with grad student Emily (Zoe Kazan) blossoms into something he never could have anticipated. Sincere and funny, The Big Sick manages to thwart traditional rom-com expectations by introducing the concept of cross-cultural boundaries. The Big Sick is based on the real-life relationship between Kumail Nanjiani and his wife, Emily V. Gordon, with whom he co-wrote the movie.
