John Doyle Globe and Mail 02/17/2022
It is tighter and more focused than many true crime documentaries on Netflix, a crisply done account of how a guy manipulated and exploited three women on Tinder. Go to Full Review
Melanie McFarland Salon.com 02/07/2022
The most compelling part of the movie isn't the crook or the nature of the scam, whose mechanics work like a well-oiled Ponzi scheme. It is the visible evidence that despite it all, these women haven't given up on finding love. Go to Full Review
Ed Cumming Independent (UK) 02/07/2022
4/5
Despite the great yarn at its centre, as a film, The Tinder Swindler sometimes lapses into the self-indulgence common to so many modern documentaries, with endless shadowy reconstructions and a heart-tugging soundtrack. Go to Full Review
Pallavi Keswani The Hindu 01/24/2024
A cinematic look into the disturbing tale of a relentless conman turns its focus to the heavy price that come with the smaller scams. Go to Full Review

The Tinder Swindler is an unbelievable true crime documentary. I guarantee after watching this you will be straight on Instagram and checking articles because this story defies logic, I was flabbergasted. Go to Full Review

Spartan W 07/01/2024 A wild story that will keep you interested See more Ander L @NDR0216 04/27/2024 This documentary is as dumb as these victims. It's more like a reality drama show than a true-crime documentary. Spending too much time to describe how these girls love the prince they believed. Leave more questions than more answers. Is the bodyguard involved part of the fraud? How about the ex-wife with a child? And how about all these drivers, security teams, and models? Why has Tinder Swinder himself been charged yet? It seems like journalists and other victims already have a lot of chances to approach him. Why the police did not take action? Is it because the police think it is not a serious case? Are the police still trying to find him guilty? Is the news about LLD Diamonds just a coincidence, which also makes lies about his danger more convincible? What's the motive of Simon Leveiv? How the fk these girls not realize it was a scam? Too many red flags. The skill of Anna in Inventing Anna is much better than Simon Leviev's. There are a lot of similarities. However, while Anna can convince even the bank, the trick Simon Leviev uses is an everyday romance scam. It is obviously a romance scam. Sending money to a person you don't know is definitely a nono. See more Marcus E @a22matic 01/28/2024 This is insane. So hard to believe any same person would be involved in this, but there are some out. The 'surprise' saved this for me as I was not a big fan until that point. See more Jessica J 05/01/2023 I wasn't aware of this guy's scheme not until I watched this documentary. And I swear the show shows how great the guy in scheming is. Not to praise him -- I am so much disgusted with him. But after all of what his done, and how this show has been released, he is still a free man and the victims are still paying off the money he had spent. It is a fucked up reality that even a lot of people (on his Instagram) are praising him and even on his side. He is even verified on Instagram? Wtf. people are crazy. This show needs some attention to let people, especially women be aware of guys like him. See more Justin V 01/27/2023 a documentary as much as it is a drama, a snap biography of lives hit hard by a country whose justice system does not seem to compensate the victims basing itself on some dodgy legal excuses; even less punishes the insensitive and horrible Israeli man perpetrating the abuse of human good nature. See more Elias M 10/07/2022 I am not a consumer of documentaries, but this story managed to catch me. It is really entertaining and interesting. The way in which the multiple countries where the scenes were recreated and the victims recounting the situations that they had to go through is told. The criticism of society where it is really sad that instead of blaming the person who cheats, the victims are blamed; We are all human and we can be naive and even more so when love enters the equation. My feeling is that it is a public denunciation by making this story more famous and making it known throughout the world and raising awareness among the users of these apps. See more Read all reviews
