The Fisher King's problems begin with Richard LaGravenese's screenplay and are amplified by Gilliam's showy direction and an unbearably fey performance by Robin Williams.

The Fisher King has two actors at the top of their form, and a compelling, well-directed and well-produced story.

So what if it's not perfect? It's magic.

It's sometimes hard to follow the action, but you have a bit of fun trying to figure it all out.

Intense '90s drama has gory violence, mature themes.
January 29, 2010
Visually impressive, frequently pretentious, and extremely fluid as narrative (the 137 minutes sail by effortlessly), this mythic comedy-drama presents Gilliam as half seer, half snake-oil salesman and defies you to sort out which is which.

Scary, touching, often hilarious, this modern fairytale is surprisingly enchanting.
June 22, 2015
Gilliam exaggerates the romanticism, the grotesquerie, and the personal pain that runs through LaGravenese's story, creating a reality where the more preposterous turns make sense.

Working within the constraints of a big studio film has brought out Gilliam's best: he's become a true storyteller and a wonderful director of actors. This time he delights not only the eye but the soul.
