There are two conversations between women: Ruby telling Mabel that Calvin is her boyfriend, and Ruby apologising to Gertrude for Calvin's behaviour.

Though it's only a slim pass, I think the 'tour of the house' scene between Gertrude and Ruby technically counts as a conversation about something other than a man. Sure, Gertrude mentions Mort, but they are really talking about the house.

I'm disappointed to realize it doesn't pass the test. Especially because it was written by a woman, Zoe Kazan.

Yeah, the house tour scene definitely counts. This movie passes.
