The Big Sick

The Big Sick (2017)
Starring Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter, Ray Romano, Bo Burnham, and Aidy Bryant
Directed by Michael Showalter
Written by Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani
***This film is currently streaming via Amazon Prime***

Summary (in 500 words or less):  Stand-up Pakastani comedian Kumail (Kumail Nanjiani) meets the white Emily (Zoe Kazan) at one of his shows and the two hit it off right away.  Several months into their relationship -- which had already faced some rocky roads when Emily discovered that Kumail's parents wanted him to date only Pakastani women --  Emily gets very sick and falls into a lengthy coma which tests Kumail's love.
