Sissy Spacek seemed to be cast as the "weirdo" only because of her obvious stereotype in the aftermath of Carrie. Many amateurish technical faults (painfully sliced camera movement; jerky panorama). For a while I was angered because directing style was like cheap Kubrick, story seemed like from some wannabe Stephen King and music reminded me of The Shining. But then you realize....this thing came out 3 years BEFORE The Shining.
Themes loosely mirror All About Eve and Road House. The title is horrible ("3 Women" is a bad title, no matter what the context). And it's rather slow -- a very downed tale of 2 women meeting through work and eventually becoming roommates, that's it.
I believe the end has something to do with the guilt the women feel, therefore their apparent obligation for Woman #3. That's why #3 asks "Why are you always so mean to her?" regarding Pinkie.
If only she knew.
Don't go out of your way to see this, but if you get the chance, sit through it.
(And there must have been some chemical leak in that desert, because those people were just bizarre.)
