A story of an unlikely friendship formed by a heartbreaking tragedy told the only way Gilliam can, with haunting visuals & unique camerawork
Buckle up for some good acting and an emotional journey.
Another Gilliam masterpiece. Great cast and emotionally moving throughout
One of Robin Williams's most heartwarming & heartbreaking performances. Well done and raises some powerful questions about dignity & honor.
Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams flex their range in this severely underrated film. Heartbreaking, heartwarming and incredibly charming.
2 great actors in a strange movie to explain to people. A different kind of movie but one you should see
Do you think that by the end Parry knew?
This is a story of pride, loss, and grace mediated by the most unlikely means. The Fisher King reminds us that we are all dying of thirst.
Worthwhile watch just to see the two leads playing so far out of their normal range and really showcasing their talent.
Great comedy drama fantasy mix, superb cast and acting well worth seeing
