In the film, we come across the stories of three women who were conned by the same man using different names. So, before you go to another date on Tinder or any other site, just make sure it’s not Simon Leviev. Or Shimon Yehuda Hayut. Or David Sharon.

What’s The Tinder Swindler all about?

The days were gone when women imagined their prince charming on a white horse. Now the prince has private jets. We all have very high hopes for our potential partner, and Cecilie is on the outlook for the man of her dreams. On Tinder, she matches with a young billionaire man, Simon. What seemed like a dream come true soon turned into a nightmare, breaking Cecilie’s heart. He even takes thousands of dollars from her, and Cecilie’s fairytale ends, and a revenge crime thriller begins.

Turns out she wasn’t the only one whose heart he broke and money he stole. So, she teams up with other victims of Simon.

Will the women be successful?

What do the critics say?

Netflix’s documentary has received mostly positive reviews from critics. IMDb has rated the film as 7.4/10, and we can expect the rating will go higher, as the documentary aired just a few days ago.

Seems like The Tinder Swindler impressed Rotten Tomatoes. The film has scored 100% by the critics and 90% by the audience.

While reviewing the film, Guardian writes, “The Tinder Swindler is snappy and smart and leaves you wanting more, rather than scraping the barrel for every possible angle.”

Times(UK) has expressed the film as, “the Jaws of internet dating documentaries.”

Looks like critics and viewers alike loved the take The Tinder Swindler had in capturing the stories of Simon’s victims. But its snappy screenplay is not the highlight of the documentary, it’s the clear warning we get. Life online can be different than the reality.
