Alison Bechdel has issued a passing score to Fire Island, after criticism claimed the film failed the Bechdel Test.
Fire Island is available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney+ Star channel in the UK.
The Bechdel Test – which originated in Alison Bechdel’s 1985 comic strip “Dykes to Watch Out For” – is used to measure the representation of women in a work of fiction.
Now, Bechdel has shut down the debate, giving her final words on Tuesday (7 June) in a follow-up tweet.
