We took a look at the top-rated movies on Rotten Tomatoes to evaluate how many pass the Bechdel-Wallace Test. The results may surprise you! As a reminder, the Bechdel-Wallace Test measures the representation of women in fictional films and television. The test looks at films and shows to determine whether or not they contain at least one scene where two women have a conversation with each other that is about something other than a man. The good news is that 80% of the top-rated films passed. Interestingly though, only one of the passing movies on this list was nominated in the Best Drama/Comedy category of the Golden Globes! We’ve still got a ways to go.
