The woman (2008) doesn't pass the test, but the movie isn't really good. Man still have a prominent role in the plot and control the woman's life without being on screen. They about man a a lot. But it passes regular bechdel test and doesn't pass the reverse bechdel test.

Thanks :) I guess the challenge is to find movies that actually both meet the criteria and are enjoyable

The 2008 version is based on a stage play from 1936 and is actually the second adaptation. The 1939 original by George Cukor is VERY enjoyable. Over 130 female speaking roles, not one man.
