This is not only a movie that passes the Bechdel test with flying colors, it's a film with a resourceful, intelligent, and most of all believable young woman as a main character who overcomes long odds with her intellect and creativity. The main plot revolves around Helena Campbell and her mother Joanne, who is sick in the hospital with an unnamed disease and is undergoing surgery. The night of the surgery, Helena enters a dream world where she must save the sleeping Queen of Light and evade the controlling (but not entirely unsympathetic) Queen of Darkness. This moving story is centered on women portrayed as real people, and has wonderful visual effects that tell a surreal tale with beautiful touchstones to real life.
