Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
For every wild ride through Manhattan by an imaginary Red Knight trailing billows of flame, there is a small, comic encounter in a more down-to-earth mode.

fresh:
Scary, touching, often hilarious, this modern fairytale is surprisingly enchanting.

fresh:
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.
– David Ansen,
Newsweek,

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