The Big Sick (out Aug 3) is framed around a struggling comedian whose world is upended when his girlfriend is struck down by a mysterious virus and is placed in an induced coma. Many films have been made about cross-cultural relationships but this will win over most in the audience with its delicately balanced mix of comedy and authenticity. Grade: B+.
