3 Women Reviews

It's a brilliantly crafted film, and it includes some of the best acting you'll see this year.

| Apr 7, 2023

I didn't find enough threads of sanity to keep me interested in the film's final sequences.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 6, 2023

This is a film for those who find whatever Altman does intriguing.

| Apr 6, 2023

The best assets are two extraordinary actresses, Shelley Duval and Sissy Spacek.

| Apr 6, 2023

Duality is everywhere and no one is quite what they seem. Altman's technique in evoking this disquiet is masterful.

| Apr 6, 2023

It amounts to a dazzling exercise-- a delicate puzzle, in which Altman gleefully supplies the pieces and lets the audience work to put them together.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 5, 2023

I couldn't understand about the last third of 3 Women -- but I liked the film.

| Apr 4, 2023

Characteristically and nonchalantly sparkling from start to almost finish, but which has a clatteringly uncessessful end

| Apr 4, 2023

3 Women is really an excruciating banal and patronizing movie.

| Apr 4, 2023

The result is remarkable -- a semi-lucid, feverish tale of female relationships that disintegrates into a kind of woozy, oppressive madness.

Throughout, Duvall is brilliant: she coins a brand-new caricature of the confident yet clueless single female, then suggests a real person underneath.

| Dec 15, 2014

The film is rich in brilliant oddities and juxtapositions, never more so than when Duvall and Spacek are encompassed in the same frame.

| Dec 9, 2014

Like a dream, it is most mysterious and allusive when it appears to be most precise and direct, when its images are of the recognizable world unretouched (as happens in the film from time to time) by camera filters or lab technicians.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | May 9, 2005

An incisive portrait of psychological alienation.

| May 3, 2005

I have seen it many times, been through it twice in shot-by-shot analysis, and yet it always seems to be happening as I watch it. Recurring dreams are like that.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 5, 2005

3 Women is a daring piece of cinema that glides along the edge of weirdness and somehow manages not to fall off.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 22, 2004

A gauzy, perfectly executed vacation in Doppelgänger-burg.

Full Review | Jun 25, 2002

Robert Altman's would-be American art film (1977) is murky, snide, and sloppy.
