This is one of those special movies where I don't think it would pass a Bechdel test for men, almost all the dialogue is women talking to other women. There's also no schmaltzy-forced-in-romantic-plot-point, I guess because the female protagonist is asexual.

I don't know that "almost all the dialogue is women talking to other women." Temple talks to her male high school teacher/mentor, to a male reporter, and to the men who work in the industry, especially those involved in her graduate studies.
