This one is difficult. For 99% of the movie, there is no female interaction whatsoever. But there is one short scene where a woman I think is called Ling is talking to the 11-year old girl Mei. Ling says a few sentences to Mei), to which she replies with a couple of words. It's mostly single-sided, but as Mei responds (although only with two words) it should technically be considered a conversation.
The problem is that Ling is a minor character who, as far as I can tell, is never mentioned by name in the actual movie - her name is only revealed on the closing credits. So is she then considered a "named character" or not?
Depending on one's definition of "named characters", the film therefore either passes 1 out of 3 tests or passes all three tests (albeit with a very small margin).
Considering Ling's name isn't revealed or mentioned during the course of the actual movie, I have for the time being chosen a rating of 1 out of 3 tests, but I'm actually not sure what the general concensus is on this matter?
