Marie: A True Story. What follows is an attempt to catalog some of Spacek's most notable film roles, all of which showcase her talents as an actress. When the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, it was greeted with rapturous response, with Spacek and co-star Tom Wilkinson being awarded a Special Jury Prize for their stellar performances. This makes 3 Women something of an outlier, at least compared to those truly Altman-esque films as, befitting its title, the focus here really is on just a small number of women which should come as a surprise to no one. She shifts back and forth and sideways: a nasal, whining child; a chaste young beauty at the prom; and then a second transformation when her destructive impulses burst out and age her.
