This is a movie that I missed in theaters although I really REALLY wanted to see it... and yeah. I'm kind of glad that I waited so long to see it and that I now own it...because this is just sort of amazing and one of the best movies I've ever seen maybe.
I've been a fan of Kumail Nanjiani for a long time. He was on a show called Michael and Michael Have Issues with Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter... and they used to answer questions on twitter during the show and I remember asking Michael Showalter who the one guy was because I thought he was so funny and he said "Oh that's Kumail, he's a writer" and since then he's gotten more and more famous and yeah. He also has an X Files podcast and I'm a massive fan of The X Files... so I listened to that for a while too. I knew a little bit about his story with his wife Emily Gordon. I knew that sometime when they were dating she was in a coma and I knew he was from Pakistan. While I was watching it- I had no idea how much was real and how much was made up... just now I looked on IMDB so I kind of know... and it doesn't really matter much to the plot of the actual story... but I just wanted to know that Kumail's mother was more accepting than in the movie. Which I knew- but still. Lol.
Anyhoo back to my actual review of this... there is A LOT going on in this movie and that makes it so great. They have the differences in culture between Kumail and Emily... and what Kumail's parents want vs what Kumail wants. There's also relationship issues between Kumail and Emily at the beginning of the film and... it was just all very real and felt very much like this all happened in real life... because it did all happen in real life I suppose but yes. It was just good and it was a lot and Emily got sicker which was sad... and then in the end you kind of see how every little detail in the beginning was so important to the end of the movie. Nothing in the story felt wasted or unimportant- it all kind of meant something... and I love that in any movie or TV show... it was just really great overall and I loved this story because of that.
I don't really have much more to say about this other than in general- this was just a brilliant story told very brilliantly and acted very well... I just love it.
