This film passes all three with flying colors. There are four mothers talking to four daughters and each other about their tragedies, their mothers, their children, piano playing, food, & chess.

I think this was rated in error. This movie is all about women talking to other women.

This film COMPLETELY passes the test. There are eight major named female characters: Lindo, Ying-Ying, Suyuan, An-Mei (the mothers), Waverly, Rose, June and Lena (the daughters). The focus of the film are their relationships and the conversations go through many topics such as their pasts, the mothers and the daughters and food among many others.
