A GREAT movie, but doesn't pass the test. Although a good portion IS devoted to Wendy Peppercorn, or whatever her last name was.

Henry disagreed with the rating and said:

It passes one of the three tests. The movie has two women in it: Wendy Peffercorn, already mentioned, AND Smalls' mom, played by Karen Allen. However, they NEVER talk to each other during the movie.

Wish there was a -2 points to add:
-1 Wendy Peppercorn only serves as an sex object to the boys
-2 Wendy's sexual assault serves as a vehicle for social ascension

I dont think a movie telling a story about boyhood during the 1900's should pass the test.
