I loveeeeeeee 3 Women — the pastel colors, mural paintings, and omg Shelley Duvall and Sissy Spacek absolutely slayed their roles.
I interpreted it as fragments of the same person across different stages of womanhood: Pinky as innocence and vulnerability, Millie as young adulthood performing femininity and desirability, and Willie as the older, withdrawn, almost ghostlike version trapped in an empty marriage.
As the film went on, the more the three women stopped feeling like separate people to me. Their personalities slowly merging into each other made it feel like they each represented a different stage, fear, or desire tied to womanhood.
