aramis disagreed with the rating and said:
1) i can name three female characters: Liams girlfriend Suzanne, Liams sister Chantelle and Liams mom Jean.
2) Chantelle and Jean talk to each other near the end of the film
3) They talk about Chantelles son Calum, who is only a child, which is just a matter of opinion of whether or not he is a "man"
4) watch the film before posting this. Thanks :)

Hi, Aramis!

note how you refer to these women as "Liam's". therefore making their worth that of a mans. what is their narrative function of than being women within a mans (Liam's) life?
