Washington Post
A modern epic that fuses myth with hard-edged reality, it's a one-of-a-kind, thoroughly engaging experience. - 90
Variety
The Fisher King has two actors at the top of their form, and a compelling, well-directed and well-produced story. - 80
The New York Times
What emerges, in the end, are a clever premise that has been allowed to go awry and several performances that are lively and unpredictable enough to transcend the confusion. Mr. Bridges, always a fine intuitive actor, has never displayed a greater range. - 80
Chicago Reader
If you treasure Gilliam at his best and take his ideas seriously, you'll probably be infuriated as well as delighted. - 80
Rolling Stone
Restores our belief in the power of movies to transform reality, even temporarily. So what if it's not perfect? It's magic. - 67
Austin Chronicle
A fanciful spiral of mythology, madness, cynicism and salvation. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
The script never resolves the different levels on which it tries to operate, and also throws in too many loose ends which never get cleared up. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
A disorganized, rambling and eccentric movie that contains some moments of truth, some moments of humor, and many moments of digression.
