What to Know

Critics Consensus

Glossy to a fault, Swiped packages its true events as a rote reenactment instead of delivering the feminist story it could have been.

Robert Levin Newsday It's far too shallow of a movie for such an important subject. Rated: 2/4 Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Adrian Horton Guardian The history of how online dating went from deeply uncool to de rigueur is one worth telling, and Swiped’s methods, corny and contrived as they can be, are proficient enough to do it. Rated: 3/5 Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Alissa Wilkinson New York Times Swiped aims to explore the difficulties of being a woman in a man’s world, from workplaces to the internet more widely. It does so in broad strokes with predictable characterization. Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Doug Jamieson The Jam Report In the end, 'Swiped' feels like its own product: streamlined, focus-grouped, and instantly forgettable. Rated: 2/5 Oct 28, 2025 Full Review Bill Newcott The Saturday Evening Post I do hereby challenge every single male in any traditionally male profession to sit through Swiped...and not see shades of their own workplace, and maybe even themselves. Rated: 4/5 Oct 11, 2025 Full Review Wilson Kwong Film Inquiry What's surprising about Swiped isn’t how entertaining it is as a commercial film, but how it utilizes its commercialization to repackage a story about sexism in a relatively digestible fashion.

Angi G Refreshing. Inspiring actually. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/25 Full Review Fifty T Lily James Shines, But Where's the Bumble Story? : I liked "Swiped", though it wasn't quite what I signed up for. Expecting the Bumble creation story, I got a film that's 75% about toxic tech bro culture at Tinder versus feminism... which is compelling on its own, just not the advertised journey. Lily James and Jackson White deliver genuinely good performances, particularly during the harassment sequences that feel uncomfortably authentic. The supporting cast, including Dan Stevens and Myha'la, add energy when given screen time. The first two acts crackle with the manic energy of startup culture and workplace toxicity done right. However, Bumble's creation feels rushed into the final 20 minutes, almost an afterthought to the Tinder lawsuit drama. And I wish that part were explored a bit more. The glossy direction prioritizes inspiration over introspection, never truly examining the contradictions at play. It's pretty great in parts, particularly the workplace dynamics, but feels like two different movies competing for attention. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/25 Full Review Dani G Not exactly bad, but really there's a lot of movies and series like these lately. More of the same stories about startup companies and/or scandals about a company or young entrepeneur Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/24/25 Full Review Alex V It was a very entertaining movie and well plotted on how Tinder and Bumble were created. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/25 Full Review Meta U Yes... let’s make a movie about a woman in tech who fought against all odds—and was adamantly against having a movie made about her. You’d think Lily James would’ve learned her lesson after the Pamela Anderson story. This marks the second time she’s portrayed a woman who explicitly did not want their life dramatized, and she shows no signs of stopping. That’s “girl power” for you. From Lily James’ laughable accent to the absurd plot, it feels like the film was written and directed by a man trying to mansplain gender inequality to preschoolers. I don’t want my money back—I want the hours of my life back. It’s shameful that such an important topic was handled so poorly. Even more shameful: it was done without the actual woman’s permission. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/25 Full Review Serena C. It was interesting, relatable, and it portrayed an all too common toxic relationship.
