Critics Consensus

Saddled with a contrived plot and plodding pacing, The Woman in Cabin 10 throws narrative logic overboard and ultimately sinks.

They might've made this movie because they got a good deal on the yacht, but nevertheless they've built a fairly effective thriller.

1.5/5

I couldn’t help noticing how quickly the script sprung a leak,...never to recover despite the yeoman efforts of star Keira Knightley to serve as a port in a storm of clichés.

1.5/4

Director Simon Stone seems lost about what to do with this contrived premise and fails to take advantage of its natural claustrophobic nature.

B-

The first half tends to drag, while the payoff conclusion seems rushed and predictable. Still, 'The Woman in Cabin 10' has its moments—nail biting as they are.

This boat-based tale is a slightly uneasy mix of Agatha Christie-style crime-solving and modern-day psychological thriller.

2/5

A film thematically sawed in half, as if penned by two entirely different minds, styles, and social politics, glued in the middle by Keira Knightley‘s determined performance.

The first half was way too much of a drag, the twist was mediocre, and the ending was rushed. Terrible movie that couldn't get any worse. Keira Knightley did a wonderful job of being the annoying character throughout, so a gold star for that.

This was a very poor adaptation of what was a very good book. Many details, characters, and plot points were changed, for the worse. Skip it.

Sure it has similarities from other thrillers but I felt the twist and the unique setting was enough to make it a worthwhile watch.

@TheMovieTalk Jan 11

The cast was promising, but the plot didn’t quite live up to expectations. Movies centered on solving a mystery are always intriguing, yet this one became fairly predictable once events started unfolding. It quickly leaned into the familiar “I’m not crazy” trope to dismiss what was clearly happening, which took away much of the suspense. The film does improve toward the end, but aside from a few strong moments, it ultimately falls short of being truly engaging.
