They don't attempt to do for Austin, Texas - center of so-called outlaw country music - what Robert Altman did for Nashville.

In the end, the women dispose of the stunt man (who has had all three of them) and are seen to be forming a sort of feminine trinity -mother, daughter and granddaughter. They seem at once mad and serene. Maybe Altman is exorcising some sort of masculine guilt here. Surely he is displaying some of the virtues associated with him: fine acting performances, expert cinematography, some wild humor. But he should have taken his dream first to a psychiatrist for analysis, then perhaps to a writer for dramatic structuring. Altman has indulged...
