This movie barely passes the test, but I still think it does due to the conversation Emily (Rooney Mara) has with Kayla (Mamie Gummer) about anti-depressants at the boat party. Emily also discusses things that aren't exactly Martin, although tangentially related to him, with both her boss and Martin's mother, although both women are listed as unnamed on IMDB, and I don't remember if names were used in the movie.

She also talks to her boss about pills and their side effects after her boss finds her throwing up in the bathroom.

It's been a while since I've seen this movie, but I'm pretty sure Jones and Mara talk about Mara's depression and their conspiracy.
