What is the meaning of the 3 Women?
In theory, a person dreaming can shift from one character into another within the dream. The three titular characters in the film represent the psyche of one person. Whereas Pinky is the child among the three, Millie is the sexually awakened young woman and the pregnant Willie is the mother figure.
What happens at the end of 3 Women?
Pinky returns to her old self, but Millie seems to act as a mother figure to both characters, whilst Willie simultaneously represents the grandmother. The film ends with the three women living together – finally, their fractured identity is merged under one roof – and their futures are left up to our imagination.

It's a brilliantly crafted film, and it includes some of the best acting you'll see this year.
What is 3 Women about?
Writer/director Robert Altman claimed this impressionistic film came to him in a dream. Millie Lammoreaux (Shelley Duvall) considers herself irresistible to men, though in fact men have little trouble resisting her. Mysterious teenager Pinky Rose (Sissy Spacek), Millie's fellow physical therapist at a desert spa who becomes her roommate at a singles-only apartment building, at first appears worshipful of Millie's self-confidence but soon seems to be taking over aspects of her personality.
