Bechdel test - Their Finest passes! (I think)

I just saw Their Finest this weekend - a lovely film, and I was first of all struck by the mostly-female production & creative team.

And then I realised that there were several scenes that passed the Bechdel test. And indeed, showed women as experts, working, using their skills & talents.

And a bit of a weepy love story too. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and hope that it does well.

I see a lot of films, not many of them pass the Bechdel test.

I watched hidden figures recently and thought exactly the same. Off to look up Their Finest now...

I missed Hidden Figures (stupid me) but I'm hoping it'll come around again, or I'll pick it up on Netflix.
