5 females (with names) are central to the plot. Here's a quote between 2 main characters, a mother and daughter -
Frances: Time has come for me to embrace my years, don't you think, Mother? Welcome them, not fight them anymore.
Elspeth: Why should you embrace your years? No one else does.

The five women don't all appear together; there are 2 groups of 2 women, and the fifth only talks with males.

I'd say the majority of this movie has dialogue that passes all of the tests.
