The Bechdel Test

Best Films That Pass the Bechdel Test

Looking for films that aren't just brilliant, but also showcase women in a meaningful way? Here you'll find the finest films that pass the Bechdel Test — films where women get more than supporting roles, where they chat with each other about something other than blokes, and where the stories are more balanced. For a film to pass the test, three things are required: 1. It must have at least two named female characters. 2. These women must talk to each other. 3. They must talk about something other than men.
