About BechdelTest

BechdelTest is a website for film fans, researchers and writers who want to see how women are represented on screen. Users search for a movie title or paste a script, and the tool evaluates it against the three Bechdel Test criteria: two named women, who talk to each other, about something other than a man.

The site includes a searchable database of films with community-submitted ratings, along with discussions behind each verdict. Visitors can browse movies that pass or fail, filter by genre, decade or country, and explore statistics on representation trends over time. Users who cannot find a title can add it and submit their own rating.

The product is built around the idea that the test is a minimal starting point, not a verdict on whether a film is feminist or sexist. It also offers a developer API for pulling ratings and search results into other projects, and social sharing for starting conversations about gender representation in cinema.
