10 Best Feminist Comedies on Netflix


When it comes to comedic films in theaters and online, it’s pretty slim pickings if you’re seeking something that manages to be witty without using women as a punchline. Luckily, there are enough comedies that pass the Bechdel Test currently on Netflix to satisfy your binge-watching needs for the week. Some of the flicks in the slideshow below are films you’ve definitely seen and can quote jokes from at length, while others are indies or throwbacks completely new to you.

Either way, update your Netflix queue, grab some microwave popcorn and curl up with these 10 witty movies that are available for instant streaming.

In a World...
A quirky feminist comedy, In a World... takes us into the male-dominated sphere of voice-over acting, where dialect coach Carol struggles not only to carve out a place for herself in an industry that usually prizes the bellowing intonations of old men, but also to step out of the shadow of her famous voice actor father. Despite being readily dismissed by her male voice-over peers and her old man, Carol's fiery ambitions refuse to be doused.
