While the film has several named female characters, none of them ever engage with each other.

At the party in New York, the hostess talks to Amy Adams about her pregnancy and offers her food.

Mildred Drummond. She does speak to Adams' character but they are not even in focus at the time and are leaving the scene.

Tas disagreed with the rating and said:
I don't really want to disagree as the exchange only lasts a couple of seconds and the film is 144mins long but technically . . .

Mildred is introduced by name to Peggy by Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Mildred does ask Peggy if she'd like to come with her - but they are indeed out of focus when this happens and you can barely hear them over the din of the party.
