Top CriticThe first half...is some of Altman's best stuff. The second half downgrades into rather pretentious and dithering malarkey

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.

Top CriticAn incisive portrait of psychological alienation.

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.

Top CriticFascinating, elliptical and enigmantic ... authentic Altman. Altman.
02/18/05
[A] strange, beautiful and funny film.
06/07/04
A spectacular artistic success.

Top CriticDrawing similarities to the central relationship in Persona, Altman’s impressionist work is difficult but, in its own way, sort of perfect.
05/05/04
[Altman] pushed even harder against the envelope and in the process created a highly unusual and wholly original picture.
04/28/04
3 Women is a daring piece of cinema that glides along the edge of weirdness and somehow manages not to fall off.
04/22/04
The end result is a film far more reminiscent of Polanski than Altman and stands as one of his most underseen but most compelling works.

It ranks in the pantheon of great films about dreams.

A gauzy, perfectly executed vacation in Doppelgänger-burg.
