Shelly Duvall was an acting genius, and Robert Altman’s dreamlike tour de force presents the most eloquent proof. Her clueless single working gal is so blithely bluff that she impresses a rube (Sissy Spacek) fresh off the bus even as she otherwise inspires snickers on- and off-screen. But hidden depths lurk in these characters, and the unsettling milieu, and Duvall and company are ready to go there, too. -Lee Gardner
