Early on in the movie, Margot and Geraldine have a conversation about Geraldine's sobriety.

This film is a clear pass although admittedly much of the dialogue involves Margot talking to either of the 2 men in her life, but there is little doubt that we are seeing the action firmly from the view point of the female lead. There is a fair bit of female-female dialogue (generally, as stated above, between Margot and her sister-in-law Geraldine) and there is a great female shower scene (with full frontal nudity) concerning the younger women's fear of aging.

In fact, except for a couple of short exchanges between the 2 male leads, it almost fails the reverse Bechdel Test.
