It's a test which you can use to determine if a film is "Feminist" or not. A film passes the test if it meets the following criteria:

If, at any point through the film, two female characters who both have names that the audience knows, have a conversation that is not about a man.

That's it. That's the whole test. Now name five films released this year that can pass it. Hell, name two.
Lots of movies pass. Including, as has been pointed out, lesbian porn. I'm sick of hearing about the Bechdel test. If a film fails to have at least two male characters who fail to talk to each other about anything other than women, would the Bechdel test advocates raise the same kind of stink?
