sudenkorento disagreed with the rating and said:

I disagree with the dubious pass –

two named characters (Natalya and Lisa) talking about the mistake in a print in the printing press-scene. There is a longer dialogue between Natalya and a woman living next door, but she is left unnamed, like most of the characters in the film.

So yeah, it is just one scene that completely passes the test, but there is very little actual dialogue between named characters in this film (ignoring Aleksey and Natalya/Mary).
