The Fisher King (1991)

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

A beautiful fairy tale. Very funny, yet also sad, poetic, melancholic - one of Gilliam's best. Jeff Bridges gives a great performance and Robin Williams an outstanding one. Visually this is pure Gilliam, playful and slightly surreal - a rare treat. 8 stars out of 10.In case you're interested in more underrated masterpieces, here's some of my favorites:imdb.com/list/ls070242495

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this film. It's one of those films if you walk into a room and it's on you have to sit down and watch the rest of it. I love this film. I love the actors too, they're some of my favourites, Jeff Bridges, Robin Williams, Mercedes Ruehl, Amanda Plummer; all brilliant. Magical. It is sad but in the end uplifting and very very funny.

This is my first review and I just watched The Fisher King for the first time.As a huge fan of both Bridges and Williams, I thought to give this one a chance, even though I've never heard anything about that movie before (I'm from Germany, guess it's not popular here at all)Starting with a totally different Bridges character, (compared to the Dude) adding a fantastic Williams (who would've thought of that..) and gently putting the delicious Michael Jeter and Mercedes Ruehl cherry on top - would be the recipe for a great movie.And it was, and I enjoyed every single minute of it. It's one of those movies that makes you think about our society, lives and world in general. There's a philosophical meaning behind it as well. All in all I'm overwhelmed by all of its actors, writing, directing and cinematography Definitely gonna watch it a few times more.Highly recommended

Yes RIP Robin Williams I can't find a better caption than this. The acting which he did in this movie is top-notch. I'd seen many movies of Mr. Williams like "R.V" and "Good Will Hunting" but to me this movie wins hands down, Robin Williams is so into character never breaks it and does with absolute perfection . But I must say that Jeff Bridges was also wonderful he's a talented actor and he's awesome. Mercedes Ruehl as Anne was also very interesting though her role was not important but still noticeable.So about the movie its about a man Jack who is a self arrogant, cynical and a type of a man who always thinks for himself he has no feelings for others, unintentionally did something terrible and one day a devastating news breaks on him and his life changes, after three yeas he was saved by a guy from suicide who's life is ruined by his mistakes and by helping that person he finds redemption.This movie could be better by improving some idiotic scenes which I found very stupid. This films also about Schizophrenia and how a person deals after a traumatic experience, so if you are interested in this, then definitely check this out.
