Bechdel Test Movie List

Charlotte says to Kitty to get the sheets in over the phone.

I don't think that interaction is a valid 'conversation' she ansers the phone, listens to a message from a man and then does not responds anything.

Either they don't actually talk, or the conversation is about a man

Charlotte is relaying to Kitty a message from a man so they’re having a conversation about a man

Charlotte talks to Kitty about what Oppenheimer said. She's literally quoting a man

De ene lijn gaat erover dat de atoombomtest van Oppenheimer geslaagd is, en dat is een man.
Een lijn kan ook nauwelijks een conversatie genoemd worden. Niet passed.

Bruh that was about Oppie. Dirk...

Charlotte relays a message by Oppenheimer to Kitty. It’s not unrelated to a man.

Didn't she say "Robert told me to tell you to get the sheets in" or something similar? Either way she was just delivering Oppi's message, right?

The only conversation between two women are a forwarding of a message from a man, thus its about a man.

The content of the call was a coded message from Robert Oppenheimer. It was made at the direction of a man and was understood by Kitty as such. Even if it counts as a "conversation," I would argue it's not "about something besides a man."

Charlotte passes on this message from Oppenheimer

The comment by Dirk is an incorrect interpretation of the scene as Charlotte is relaying a message from Oppenheimer (a man) to Kitty. So technically, the two were still talking about a man.

Charlotte tells Kitty that Robert (Oppenheimer) asked her to tell Kitty to get the sheets in. So they are actually talking about the guy.

I not sure it counts, as its a message from Oppenheimer and not something said from Charlotte.

A woman says one sentence over the phone to another, to which the second woman doesn’t respond and drops the phone. In my view, this interaction should not be considered a “conversation”

I do not feel this should make the film pass the test, since Charlotte only tells her that on behalf of her husband.

This is a woman passing on a message verbatim from Oppenheimer to his wife. One woman does technically say the words to another, but they are his words. It’s a stretch to say this is a conversation between two women.

Charlotte does solely talk about Robert, a man, in this conversation, since "get the sheets in" is a code he created to tell Kitty whether his own project has been successful or not.
The conversation of Kitty and Charlotte does not go beyond sharing whether Robert has been successful or not.

Charlotte says to Kitty to bring the sheets in over the phone on behalf of Robert, and as a symbol of Robert's success.

The message related to Kitty by Charlotte is about Oppenheimer.

The message about getting the sheets over the phone is about a man's success.

Completely disagree with the rating based on the simple rules. Please amend. Belittles the whole idea!

This is one of the most sexist, unequal films I have seen for a long time. Gratuitous boob shots that aren't matched by any kind of male nudity...this rating needs to be taken down!

It doesn't count

Clearly disagree with this. No women had a conversation with each other, at all, in this movie. It has to be removed from the list.

This movie doesn't pass the third rule.

How can it still show like it passes when all of these comments are disagreeing?

I've updated the rating from 3/3 to 2/3.

Should be 1/3. Forwarding a message is NOT talking to each other.

This movie is offensive in its use of women as mere props to support the achievements (however dubious) of men. And the absolutely unnecessary nudity exists only to ensure men who might not otherwise sit through a three hour film remain engaged in hopes there will be more of it to reward their patience. Absolute nonsense!

I disagree with GreGG. 2/3 is an accurate rating. Two clearly named women spoke to each other. That passes the test. Just because one of them was passing along a message doesn’t mean they aren’t talking to each other. If Oppenheimer was a woman, then this conversation would pass all 3 tests. Thus this is clearly a 2/3 rating.
