I'm sure lot's of Pedro Almodóvar's films would pass the test. The two main characters are women. They talk to each other about; babies, jobs, life, death, politics, and men.

This film definitely passes the Bechdel test. Its two leads are women, and they talk to each other about: money, babies, parents, Spanish civil war amongst many other things?

I disagree with the rating. Like the other commentators have said, the film does include two female characters conversing and about besides a man.

The men arc (the father of each baby and the protagonist's grandfather) is a tangent at best. It's basically about two women talking about everything except men.
