Faith and Film: The Big Sick

Movie Review by Fr. Tom Condon, O.P.

The Big Sick is an unlikely title for a romantic comedy. But don’t let the title throw you. This is a great movie! It is a comedy about the relationship between a Pakistani-American man and an Anglo American woman in Chicago. If you’re looking for an alternative to the superhero movies that take over the movie theaters in the summer, The Big Sick may be just what you’re looking for.
