Craig K I enjoyed this movie. It sends a positive message about hard work, perseverance, and standing up for your values. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Patrick C SWIPED tells the story of how the Tinder app began and then quickly blew up while changing the dating (or hook up) scene all together. Lily James plays Whitney Wolfe, a young woman who opens the film, pitching her humanitarian idea to tech entrepreneurs who have no interest in her endeavor. While waiting on her valet, she meets Sean Rad (Ben Schnetzer) who asks her to pitch him while they're both waiting. Impressed with her ambition rather than her goal, he gives her his card to contact him and she does so the next day. After a brief impromptu lunch with clients he's trying to sell on another of his products, Whitney is soon hired. Sean's company has their hands in a lot of different pies and the online dating company is the one Whitney latches onto. The film makes it clear she's the visionary behind the company's success, beating the pavement at college campuses to increase their number of users. Once successful and after a bad relationship with a close friend of Sean and cofounder of the company Justin (Jackson White), Whitney is soon blackballed at the company. The story takes place primarily between 2012-2015 (before the Me Too movement) so this oozes with "toxic masculinity". Wolfe didn't participate in the making of this film due to a NDA she signed upon her separation from Tinder, so it's difficult to separate fact from fiction. Case in point: her best friend in the film Tisha (Myha'la) is a completely fictional character and was only casted because she's a black, female. I mean, why else would you need to create this character otherwise, right? While I've always been a fan of James' work, her last 2 outings have been misses (this and RELAY). Sometimes quality suffers when you're as busy as she is so hopefully she can get on track again with her next role. Otherwise, the story here is a very basic, made-for-TV movie vibe and while this is only one perspective of what happened to Whitney, I'd say she's done alright for herself during her post-Tinder years. Congrats to her for all of her success! Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Jiff M Albeit a little paint by numbers, it was engaging story, well told, well acted - definitely deserves higher praise than the critics and general audience are giving it credit for. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Reed B Angie Han had the most realistic critic review. This subject is deep and relevant today. But no, This is an ego centric CEO puff piece Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Madalynn S. As a woman in sales—a very male-dominated industry—this movie made me smile at the end but also had me nodding through so many familiar moments. It wasn’t meant to be a hard-hitting documentary, but an uplifting story that still highlighted real challenges women face every day. Me Too may have brought awareness years ago, but has much really changed? We still find ourselves proving our worth daily, being judged more harshly for mistakes, and too often labeled “hostile” or “aggressive” for behaviors men are praised for. That reality came through here in a light but meaningful way. I also noticed that most of the negative reviews are from men—no surprise. Of course it got a low rating from people who will never truly understand what it’s like to be a woman in a male-dominated space or even, in some cases, a “gender hire.” For me, though, this film was encouraging, relatable, and exactly the reminder I needed: keep pushing, ladies Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/25 Full Review Mirza M 'Swiped' is a mildly entertaining conventional biopic that doesn't dig deep enough to serve its purpose.
