I concur with the rating. Also an excellent treatment of different races without resorting to stereotypes at all. A very diverse, balanced cast. I was really impressed by the movie overall.

I just watched the movie and I didn't quite paid attention to whether it passed the third Bechdel test or not. There is too much going on, so I didn't focus on the test the way I usually do. None of the characters are actually named, but there are four relevant women, three of whom have a lot of lines. The conversations usually involve multiple people, so maybe there was not a situation where two women talked to each other without a man as a third part of the interaction. I applaud the film for its multiple female protagonists who are intelligent and resourceful, and for commenting on how poorly men treat women.
