"The Big Sick," which will get its wide release in theaters Friday, is already being called one of the best romantic comedies of all time by critics.

The indie flick has a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and is based on the real-life relationship of screenwriters Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon, and the cultural differences and struggles they initially faced as a couple.

Its authenticity and warmth has charmed early audiences.

“Moonrise Kingdom”

Two young lovers run away from a New England town leading to a search party to track them down. But from the mind of director Wes Anderson, that means a highly stylized search party.
