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.

It's far too shallow of a movie for such an important subject.

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.

In many ways, the film feels firmly in the past, but that’s until you find out that it really isn’t.

2/5

In the end, 'Swiped' feels like its own product: streamlined, focus-grouped, and instantly forgettable.

It's fine - Tinder and Buble and all the dating apps. But the Whitney Wolfe story could've been a lot grittier.

based on the true story of Whitney Wolfe Herd the creator of Bumble. It’s an very standard biopic of someone who brought a lot in terms of feminism but it has an commending performance by Lily James
