SWIPED

Cinemavixion Review

Ann Deborah Fishman's "Swiped" offers a contemporary take on college life and the perils of digital connection. Noah Centineo stars as a charismatic but self-absorbed student who, with the help of his tech-savvy roommate (Kendall Sanders), engineers a hook-up app with the promise of tuition funds for MIT. The film deftly explores the unintended consequences of such technology, as the app's reach extends into unexpected personal territories, creating both comedic and dramatic tension. While the narrative navigates familiar tropes of youthful ambition and romantic entanglement, the performances, particularly from Centineo and Sanders, lend a grounded energy to the proceedings. The film serves as a cautionary, yet lighthearted, reminder of the complexities that arise when our digital lives intersect with our real-world relationships, all set against the backdrop of academic pressure and burgeoning adulthood.
