Match: la reina de las apps de citas

The movie quality itself wasn't great - Lily James was quality( as usual) , music selection and casting were good, dialogue left something to be desired and it was not a cinematic masterpiece...

That being said- the movie kept you in, the quality was reasonable and it was a vessel to carry a story that in this day and age is hugely important and that not enough people know about( myself included before watching this)

I had heard the name and had some vague idea of a sexual harassment case but am ashamed to say I never thought or cared much about it. As a woman in a very male dominated field - this movie was inspiring and touching and relatable. This is something I want the next generation to see and understand and start to understand the importance of speaking up and lifting other women. So many important issues addressed from harassment to empowerment, racism, inclusion on and on.

I loved it and left wanting to do better and be more, especially for other women and remember that you don't need to take crap fell anyone - no matter what field you are in.

Totally worth your time.

It's a movie when you need an inspiration, ans moral life lessons in your daily professional life, it gives you some ideas how the world works! It's a must watch movie, Lilly James and Dan Stevens done a great acting, specially Dan, I really didn't recognize him in that role which means he was so good with the accent and style.

Swiped, starring Lily James and currently streaming on Hulu and Disney+, is a dramatization of the creation of Tinder, one of the most influential dating apps of the last decade. On the surface, it looks like another "tech origin story" movie, but underneath, it's really about women's empowerment, corporate mistreatment, and what happens when ambition collides with sexism.

At the center of it all is Whitney, the woman whose story the film follows. Watching her journey, I couldn't help but feel outraged at how she was treated-not just professionally but personally. She's portrayed as a bright, driven individual who played a pivotal role in building something groundbreaking, yet her voice is constantly minimized, dismissed, or outright ignored. The movie doesn't sugarcoat it-Whitney is mistreated in ways that feel both frustrating and disheartening. To this day, the real person she represents still lives under an NDA, silenced from fully sharing her experience. That knowledge adds an extra layer of weight to the story, because it leaves the audience wondering: how much of what we're watching is only the tip of the iceberg?

That ambiguity is both the film's strength and its weakness. On one hand, it makes you lean in, trying to read between the lines of every scene, wondering what the "real" truth might be. On the other hand, it also holds the movie back because the audience can never be entirely sure what is fact and what is dramatization. As Whitney herself says in the film, she can't speak freely. And that silence, for me, speaks louder than anything-it leaves a bitter taste that reflects the real-world problem of how women are treated in male-dominated industries.

Where the film deserves credit is in showing Whitney's resilience. Instead of letting mistreatment define her, she uses it as fuel. After her fallout with Tinder, she doesn't just fade away-she goes on to create Bumble, an app that flips the power dynamic by putting women in charge of starting conversations. She later becomes the CEO of Badoo, further solidifying her place as a powerhouse in the tech world. That part of the story is what really makes Swiped worth watching. It's not just about the exploitation and the silencing-it's about the triumph that came after.

Now, talking about the film itself: as a piece of cinema, it's uneven. The performances, especially Lily James as Whitney, are strong and give the story emotional weight. James does a fantastic job of showing Whitney's vulnerability while also portraying her fierce determination. However, the screenplay and pacing leave much to be desired. There are moments of energy and sharp drama, but they're often buried under long stretches of heavy dialogue that drag the story down. Some scenes feel repetitive, circling the same themes without moving the plot forward. It's not an unwatchable film-not at all-but it definitely struggles to keep momentum.

That said, I don't think Swiped is a bad movie. It's a flawed one, yes, but the core story is so compelling that it makes up for a lot of the shortcomings. It's not the kind of film you'd watch over and over again, but it is the kind of movie that sticks with you, at least in terms of its subject matter. Once you've seen it, you can't help but think differently about the apps on your phone, or about the power dynamics behind the screens we swipe every day.

For me, Swiped ultimately succeeds because of what it represents. It shines a light on how women are often erased, minimized, or pushed aside in industries where they've made massive contributions. Even though the film struggles with pacing, its message comes through loud and clear. It's not a perfect film, but it tells an important story-one that's empowering, frustrating, and necessary all at once.

Director Rachel Goldenberg presents a kind of biopic about Whitney Wolfe Herd, the brilliant mind behind successful dating apps like Tinder and Bumble.

Lily James excels in dramatic scenes.

The British actress takes on the lead role and brings to life one of the most successful women in the world at a young age. James approaches her portrayal of Whitney with intelligence and multiple nuances that sustain the film's tone. However, she particularly shines in the most dramatic moments, where her performance reaches its peak. It is in these moments that the film also achieves its greatest splendor, becoming more consistent in a story that holds great potential. Although it is not disappointing, the film lacks the necessary depth to fully explore the injustice suffered by the protagonist, remaining superficial and limiting to its script.

It maintains a constant irregularity.

Unfortunately, the film gets lost in the inconsistency of its tone. While it maintains a positive outlook on its protagonist's work, when it attempts to delve into the drama and rawness, it does so in such a subtle way that it leaves the feeling that there was much more to explore. It starts with a frenetic pace that makes the 110 minutes fly by, but perhaps it would have been better to dwell a little more on the drama behind such a fascinating story. Still, it's a fairly enjoyable film to watch.

Feminism as an emblem.

The film's tone is undoubtedly its greatest strength. It's a work that foregrounds female power and highlights it in a pleasing and satisfying way. It avoids clichés and excesses, as well as the exaggerated victimization that can appear at times. With a mature tone, it addresses the life of a woman in a male-dominated world and, later, the rise to the throne of one of the most influential female figures in the app industry.

Conclusion .

A pleasant film that could have been more remarkable had it dared to be more incisive. It has moments of brilliance and others that are somewhat weaker, but overall it's a pleasant experience, though it won't be particularly memorable later this year.

Swiped (2025) is a biographical drama movie on Hulu based on the life of Whitney Wolfe Herd, founder and CEO of Bumble, and the movie was pretty mediocre.

Positives for Swiped (2025): The initial premise of these people fighting over the rights to an app is interesting on paper. Lily James, Dan Stevens, Myha'la and Jackson White are all pretty good in the movie. I like the energy shown in the scenes where we see the characters are having fun and being joyful. There are some interesting interactions about they are doing with the app. And finally, I was actually invested in a story about a dating app for adults.

Negatives for Swiped (2025): This movie is basically a feature length ad for Bumble and that was strange. While the story is interesting, I don't think Bumble is the right app for a movie. Everything in the story is happening because the plot needs them to happen for the hell of it. And finally, I failed to understand what the point of this movie was aside from being a Bumble ad.

Overall, Swiped (2025) is a very mediocre attempt at making a movie about an app that I don't care about and did nothing for me.
