Swiped (2025)

Swiped is a 2025 American biographical drama film directed by Rachael Leigh Goldenberg from a screenplay by Bill Parker, Rachael Leigh Goldenberg, and Kim Caramel. The film premiered on the Hulu movie platform on September 19, 2025.

The film is inspired by the true story of Whitney Wolfe Heard, co-founder of Tinder and founder of Bumble. The film sheds its colors on the cutthroat world of tech startups, where sexism and offensive unsolicited photos dominate, and women's voices are often ignored. Lily James takes on the role of Whitney, a driven young woman who first creates Tinder, then is kicked out of the project and takes revenge by creating Bumble, an app that puts women in the vanguard and the conversation.

The film's script, written by the director herself with Bill Parker and Kim Carmel, is captivating and engaging, highlighting personal struggles in a corporately hostile world. The visuals and cinematography capture the dynamics of tech offices and the intense moments of inflection where new ideas meet old forces.

„Swiped“" doesn't just tell a story about a technological revolution — it questions the way digital spaces shape human relationships. In addition to being biographical, the film also has a social charge — about the muse of democratizing intimacy and access to privacy in a world where photos — well-intentioned or not — can be destructive.
