Two female leads, who talk to each other a lot, about a lot of different things, but a very large amount of it is about a man, so 2 out of 3 I think.

I thought the rule was that if they talk about anything other than a man, it passes the test, even if the majority of talking is about a man.

The two female leads go to bed together, and definitely talk about that. Indeed, it is the growing attraction of Chloe to the Julianne Moore character that eventually drives the plot. This movie should definitely pass the test.

There is moderate dialog about Chloe's childhood. They do talk about other non-man-related subjects as well. This film deserves 3/3.

As James, David and Lux have already done, I disagree with the rating. It should be 3/3. From www.imdb.com/title/tt1352824/quotes

[Catherine Stewart]: How do you do this?
[Chloe]: I try to find something to love in everybody. [...]
[Catherine Stewart]: Like?
[Chloe]: You.
[Catherine Stewart]: Me?
[Chloe]: Yeah. Yeah people like you walk into my life.
