Sammy Trujillo disagreed with the rating and said:

i don't know if this counts, but in one scene in the beginning, Luke brought his son a crib while Romina and Kofi weren't home. When Romina returned, Luke listened to Romina and her mother (Melina) argue about the mother letting him in. Even though it happens off screen there is a conversation, but it is about a man so it does not pass the full test.

While Sammy is correct about the conversation taking place, Malena is never named in the movie (only in the credits) so the dialogue is not between named characters. The rating is thus correct.
