I don't remember a single scene where any of the women speak to each other. There's a point in which Helen attempts to comfort Andromache, but there are no spoken words, and the comfort was offered because of a man.

Alexandre disagreed with the rating and said:
Andromache: "Helen! We must go!"
Helen: "Where?"
Andromache: "I'll show you. Hurry!"

That's all. Does it pass? Does it fail? Whatever.

Talking non-Bechdel test now: every female character in "Troy" is poorly written in comparison to the men. The "Game of Thrones" co-creator has a serious writing problem.
