Jack Lucas was once a famous, arrogant and egotistical New York City call-in radio talk show host. Largely self-inflicted due to remorse and grief, Jack goes on a quick downward spiral, both personally and professionally, after a glib comment he makes to one of his regular callers results in that caller going on a murder spree. Three years later, the only emotional and financial support a despondent Jack receives is from his current video store owning girlfriend, Anne. When Jack hits rock bottom, he meets a seemingly crazy and homeless man calling himself Parry. Parry does have mental health issues, namely hallucinations centered around the story of the Fisher King, which is why he has an obsession with obtaining the Holy Grail. When Jack learns of Parry's own background and the reason he got to where he is, Jack feels he needs to be part of Parry's salvation. He figures the way to do so is to connect Parry with Lydia Sinclair, a shy and uncoordinated woman who Parry loves from afar. In doing so, Jack may himself be able to recapture his old life back. But if he does, he may not realize that he was no saint in that former life.

| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyAs original as Gilliam is as a filmmaker, he too falls victims to Hollywood cliches as far as the portrait of the homeless is concerned (here Robin Williams)--they are either mad saints or misfit geniuses |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonA modern epic that fuses myth with hard-edged reality, it's a one-of-a-kind, thoroughly engaging experience. |
| StarburstAndrew PollardAt times loud and brash, at others introvert and delicate, Gilliam has crafted something rather special in this rightfully-beloved film. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumVisually 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. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellIt's sometimes hard to follow the action, but you have a bit of fun trying to figure it all out. |
| The DissolveNoel MurrayGilliam 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. |
| Under the RadarAustin Trunick[Numbers] among the director's masterpieces. |
| DVDLaserDouglas PrattUnlike the standard Fisher King tale, the concerns of individuals within the film are more important than the concerns of society. Terry Gilliam's myth feels more like a lark, a safe little foray into a mythic world of impoverished individuals who don't |
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsClassic and disturbed urban fantasy. Fine performances by Bridges and Williams both. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellIf you treasure Gilliam at his best and take his ideas seriously, you'll probably be infuriated as well as delighted. |
