Tom speak with all the female characters in the movie. She had a lengthy chat with Jean the social worker about herself, school, life, etc.

Carla disagreed with the rating and said:
The conversation Jean and Tom have is about her life in the context of her dad..


Who directed the film is not a criteria for this test, nor is the male speaking to female characters.

This does NOT pass the test
