I suggest "Girls Will Be Girls" with a caveat. Though it definitely features many female characters who talk to each other about many things other than a man, the movie features NO female actors at all - all the female characters are played by drag queens. That said, the major CHARACTERS are all women: Evie (Jack Plotnick), an aging actress with a sex and substance addiction problem; Varla (Jeffrey "Varla Jean Merman" Roberson), the actress whose mother's career was ruined by Evie; and Coco (Clinton "Miss Coco Peru" Leupp), a failed actress who is so desperate for love that she marries a doctor (Eric Stonestreet) with serious ethical issues. Much of the conversations between the women centers around Evie's and Varla's careers, and the death of Varla's mother.

It's disturbing, gross-out, surprisingly funny drag queen humor. But it may offend, so be forewarned.
