Critics Consensus

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

Peter Travers

The Travers Take

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.

Rated: 1.5/5

San Jose Mercury News

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

Rated: 1.5/4

John Anderson

Wall Street Journal

It really is a ludicrous exercise, the kind one hopes was fun for the actors because the results are so wacky, and the cast so prestigious.

Radio Times

A look at the talented cast list for this stagnant murder mystery promises riches that never surface.

Rated: 2/5

Pop Culture Leftovers

In a world of Benoit Blanc and Hercule Poirot cases, this is one lackluster murder investigation that falters at properly blending psychological thriller with whodunit.

Butler's Cinema Scene

It’s all wrapped up with a posh gala on a Norwegian fiord that deteriorates into a sort of soggy Velveeta pizza. Didn’t believe a word of it.

The plot leaves a lot to be desired. If it wasn't for the superb acting, I'd have rated it much lower.

I don’t understand why anyone would give this such a bad rating. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I also don’t understand why anyone would comment on their acting. The story is quite unique but still stays true to what happens in the real world. The ratings did them dirty. It was a good movie.

VITALII H

A journalist was invited to a charity cruise and saw something she wasn’t supposed to. No one believes her of course and she’s trying to prove herself. Although the concept isn’t new as you can see but the execution is good. There’s not much to add in order to avoid spoilers. If you have nothing to watch then it’ll do.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

An okay movie for a quiet evening — nice to watch once, but nothing that sticks with you afterward.

Oz S

The Woman in the 10 Cabin is a beautifully produced movie with stunning visuals and impressive acting. The scenery is breathtaking, and the overall production quality feels top-notch. However, the film falls short where it matters most, the script and the ending. The story feels overly familiar, like something we’ve already seen many times before. In a movie of this kind, you’re supposed to keep guessing who the villain is, but here it’s easier for some viewers to figure it out quite early. Despite its strong presentation, the plot is predictable and full of clichés.
