Swiped 2025

Swiped is a 2025 American biographical drama film written and directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg, based on the life of Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder and CEO of the dating app Bumble. The movie stars Lily James as Wolfe Herd, alongside a cast including Dan Stevens, Myha'la, and Jackson White. The story follows Wolfe Herd's journey from her early days in the tech industry, where she helped co-found the dating app Tinder, to her contentious departure from the company due to alleged sexual harassment and subsequent lawsuit. The film chronicles the rise of Tinder and the central role Wolfe Herd played in its success, before her relationship with the company's male-dominated leadership sours. After being pushed out, she finds an ally in Russian tech mogul Andrey Andreev, played by Dan Stevens, who offers her the funding to launch her own dating platform. This leads to the creation of Bumble, an app designed with a focus on female empowerment and safety, where women are required to make the first move. The movie portrays how Wolfe Herd's experience in a "bro-zone" tech environment fueled her ambition to create a more positive and female-friendly space in the online dating world. Swiped had its world premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival and was released in the United States on Hulu and internationally on Disney+ on September 19, 2025. The film has received generally unfavorable reviews from critics, who have noted that while Lily James's performance is commendable, the narrative is often seen as a surface-level, "girlboss"-era take on the true story, lacking depth and complexity. The filmmakers stated that because Wolfe Herd is under a non-disclosure agreement from her settlement with Tinder, the story was based entirely on public information. Read More
