I just want to second the above comments. There are indeed (far) more than two women in the movie and there are several scenes, even if brief, in which at least two women talk about diverse topics.

Yeah, Ana Brennand's right. The doctor-hungover patient is one of the most memorable scenes in the movie. Not to mention the other examples above. This rating is wrong.

Domingas talks to her patient about being on a hungover...

When the woman from the Southeast arrive at Bacurau she talks about the town’s name with the female bar owner. She also talks to Teresa about not going to the museum.

There are some other examples as well. This rating is incorrect.

I second the above comments. The criteria is not vague, so it shouldn't be hard to rate this movie. Can't understand why it hasn't passed the test.

Its sad to see the Bechdel Test used so carelessly. Despite this being a variant of the Bechdel test, not the original, which doesn't require the female characters to have names, asserting that this movie failed the test is 100% inaccurate. There are examples throughout the file that meets the criteria of a passing test. You guys can do better than this...
