Grading the Bechdel test


Flying colours: Thelma & Louise is one popular movie that passes the Bechdel test.

Swedish cinemas are challenging the idea that two women talking on screen is diametrically opposed to film quality.

FOUR independent Swedish cinemas now tell audiences if the films they screen pass the Bechdel test – which require that a film (1) feature two named female characters who (2) talk to each other about (3) something other than men. Films that meet these criteria get a seal of approval, or an A rating.
