"A brazen test of the line between film and feature-length commercial, Swiped frames as a feminist triumph: one woman's climb from marginalised tech worker to CEO of a dating app in Blackstone Inc's vast portfolio of assets. Just, you know... don't read anything under the controversies heading of Blackstone's Wikipedia page. For the most part, you can look at Rachel Lee Goldenberg's biopic of Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd as a light, pleasant bit of empowerment."
"It's serious about the entrenched, hydra-headed misogyny of the tech industry and its depiction of Wolfe Herd's co-founding of Tinder she resigned and, in 2014, filed a lawsuit against the company for sexual harassment (it was later settled out of court). Under the encouragement of Andrey Andreev, the co-founder of Russian dating app Badoo, she founded Bumble as an alternative dating app that placed control in women's hands by having them initiate the conversation."
The Independent sends journalists to cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, and appeals for donations to fund reporters on the ground. The outlet investigates political and corporate financials and produces documentaries spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights while avoiding paywalls and relying on reader support. Swiped frames Whitney Wolfe Herd's rise from marginalised tech worker to Bumble CEO as a feminist triumph and foregrounds entrenched, hydra-headed misogyny in the tech industry. The film notes Wolfe Herd's resignation from Tinder and her 2014 sexual-harassment lawsuit, and depicts Bumble's founding under Andrey Andreev as a women-first alternative. Lily James plays Wolfe Herd with luminous appeal.
