The scenes between Mackenzie Davis and Charlize Theron are so gorgeously written, they push out new space in the studio apartment generally
occupied by female character.
In all of Trier's films, emotion, subjectivity, and intuition are in their fullest
forms by female characters: from Grace (Nicole Kidman) in Dogville, She (Charlotte Gainsbourg) in Antichrist, and Justine (Kirsten Dunst) in Melancholia.
Some of the costumes worn
by female characters show a little skin, but my feeling is that calling it «partial nudity» is stretching it a bit, and alcohol is a non-issue.
In general, the film's feminist bona fides are stellar; not only does it pass the Bechdel test, but virtually all the film's dialogue is
spoken by female characters.
Our goal was to step up and model what a film festival can do: We celebrated women creators from around the world in films such as Saskia Diesing's Nena, Léa Pool's The Passion of Augustine, and Malgorzata Szumowska's Body; we identified great stories
driven by female characters, including Todd Haynes» Carol and Mika Kaurismäki's The Girl King; we produced panels, tributes, an exhibit on Ingrid Bergman, and an installation on female role models.

For me personally my favorite character seems to be Cammy over the years, despite initially being Ken, I found it more pleasurable to see the look on my opponents faces when they were KO'd
by a female character; priceless.
