The “really, really big” 1977 movie so good Jenna Ortega had to watch it three times in a row

Jenna Ortega says Robert Altman’s 1977 film *3 Women* is one of her favourites, and that she watched it three times in a row. Her recommendation highlights her interest in classic and arthouse cinema, while the article contrasts that enthusiasm with a film career it considers uneven.

Ortega praised the performances of Sissy Spacek and Shelley Duvall, known for *Carrie* and *The Shining*, and noted the film’s inspiration from Ingmar Bergman’s *Persona*. The article says *3 Women* was underappreciated on release and less often cited among Altman’s best-known films; it also points to Ortega’s roles in horror franchises and several films it judges unsuccessful.
