The Big Sick on Blu-ray features an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.85:1, boasting vibrant colors, excellent detail, and stable contrast. Though shot digitally with no film grain, it retains a film-like quality with rich black levels and natural flesh tones. Some dark scenes falter in detail but overall, a competent and refined presentation.

Audio: 71

The Big Sick's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track, highlighting excellent dialogue clarity, dynamic range, and immersive crowd responses in club scenes, provides a rich auditory experience with strong stereo separation and subtle yet effective surround activity, enhancing the film's atmospheric depth.

The Blu-ray Extras of 'The Big Sick' offer a well-rounded collection that includes insightful featurettes like 'A Personal Journey,' an engaging Q&A from the 2017 SXSW Film Festival Panel, entertaining bloopers in 'The Other Stuff,' and a lively but sometimes chaotic Cast & Filmmaker Commentary.

Movie: 89

"The Big Sick" captivates with its blend of heartfelt poignancy and deft humor, rooted in Nanjiani and Gordon's deeply personal, real-life love story.
