Bechdel Test Movie List

Allowing for the fact that the story gives some of its women possessive style names (Missy, Bombshell), there is more than one named female character in the film. However, I don't remember any of them interacting at all.

An unnamed waitress kicks Jodie Comer out of her shop, so it does technically pass if we don't go with the named rule.

While there aren’t tons of conversations between women, there is a conversation between the barista and Millie about the video game. So on a technicality, I think it passes.

- Ryan Reynolds engages in street harrassment.
- Protagonist, while her gun skills are admirable, is going about her day in a sexualised manner (nothing wrong with that, but compared to, say, the most recent Lara Croft film ft. Alicia Vikander? This one's still something I'm thinking through. Clearly some degree of male gaze here. )
- The creepy eye contact that I'm assuming the director instructed the actress to do towards the end of the film. One of the end scenes.
- The "preachy feminist" joke reeked of r/menwritingwomen. So the writers are okay with street harrassment but play off the "humour" of creeps who downplay women's frustration with how unsafe women are made to feel in this world?

- I suppose one plus is the fact that they hired Jodie Comer and had a woman who's using guns etc. And pretty domineering

Millie and the barista were talking, but I don't think the barista had a name.

The Barista and the Bombshell are not named characters. Pokimane appears as herself but does not speak with any female character. Lara Spencer also appears as herself but does not speak with any female characters.

Technically there is a second named female character beside Mlilie... The Cat Lady is named Phyllis.

The Barista's Name is Missy. I'm not sure if the test requires the name to be used, but her nametag can be seen in the opening of this clip.

1. At least two named characters. Millie is easy, but then there's Missy the Barista, Phyllis, and Bombshell. Bombshell probably isn't the name she'd have picked, but is her name.
2. Mille and Missy talk to each other
3. About the game.
It's not exactly the cleanest pass, I think only it only passes by a few seconds, but it should pass.
