The Big Sick
The Big Sick lures audiences in with gooey, romantic squishiness – before delving into more serious (but still hilarious) territory, writes April McIntyre.

The new MY COUSIN RACHEL adaptation is a competent melodrama, but one that never sinks its hooks in deep enough, writes Roshan Matharu.
