AB  -  This article presents a feminist critique of the Brazilian film industry through the analysis of the
representation of black women in the highest-grossing movies over the last years. Our effort is divided in
three parts: first, we review the literature on gender and race in Brazilian film, showing that the interplay
between these categories has been seldom explored and the few works that do it suffer from
methodological flaws; then we make a descriptive quantitative analysis on the profile of the top-grossing
movies produced in Brazil; and, finally, we propose a typology of stereotypes associated with black and
brown female protagonists. The results allow us to conclude that black women are still severely
underpresented and predominantly represented by negative stereotypes that convey oversexualization,
mischievousness, and domesticity
