Plot: When Pinky Rose starts working in a retirement home, she is placed together with Millie. Pinky is an awkward young woman who has trouble making friends, but the two get along rather well. The closer they become, the weirder Pinky's behavior, as she tries to copy her best friend to the smallest detail.

There are some interesting twists and turns here, but Altman's style feels a bit too light for this type of film. The concept is interesting, and the way the narrative develops is quite unique, but the presentation never felt slick and dense enough to make this an enveloping cinematic experience.
It also didn't help that I'm not the biggest fan of Duvall and Spacek, and pretty much the entire film revolves around the two of them. It's a shame, because with a different cast and director (Lucile Hadzihalilovic would be a solid option), this could've been something I would have loved. In its current incarnation, it's mostly a film of missed opportunities.
