There are a number of named female characters - Norma, Bruna, Ruth, Alba, Jessica, but their interactions are always short. Ruth talks for a bit with a female neighbour of Albas about Alba and her mother; the neighbour however isn't named. Bruna and Norma shortly talk to each other in the cockpit, but the conversation is about a male member of the crew. I might have missed some interaction (I was really upset about this film, which features the drugging of a huge number of people and non-consensual sex), so there might be a minimal conversation that constitutes a pass I could have missed. I don't recommend to watch the movie to check though.

Rafael disagreed with the rating and said:
Ruth and the nurse converse about Alba.... as well as Ricardo.
However, for an Almodovar movie, women are surprisingly sidelined.

I should add that the nurse is a named character (Portera, played by Carmen Machi), but I had to look that up--not even sure her name is spoken.

OK, now I'm embarassed. Portera is not her name. It means gate-keeper or doorwoman, I think.
