Does talking on the phone count? Because they do (just) talk to each other, about a man.

Haven't watched the whole movie. But at the beginning the female lead and another female character converse quite a bit. There's a guy in the house as well but he doesn't participate in the conversation very much.

There are definitely women who talk to each other. Florence had many conversations with her friend Gina, but pretty much all of them were about Roger. At the beginning she also talks with her employer, Carol Greenberg, as well as Carol's unnamed daughter, mostly about their upcoming trip (and maybe a bit about Roger).

All that said, I'd be apprehensive to say this movie passed the test. If it did, it was only on a technicality.

Neil disagreed with the rating and said:
Sara (the oldest daughter) and Muriel (the Australian friend) also talk to one another in the house, when Roger walks in to find them, and then again in the car, when they're heading to the airport.

It's pretty brief and superficial, but along with Florence's dialogue with Gina and Carol, that's at least three different pairs of women who talk to one another.

Dwij disagreed with the rating and said:
It's pretty clear if you watch the film that the film passes. In the beginning it is clear that Florence talks to Carol about vacation and jobs. Florence also talks to Carol's named daughter. There are others scenes too that pass.
