The Woman in Cabin 10 Lands on Netflix as a Brisk Keira Knightley Thriller

Critics spotlight the altered ending, real‑yacht production, brisk pace, plus a tech‑inflected mood.

Overview

  • Netflix released The Woman in Cabin 10 on Oct. 10, with Keira Knightley leading a mystery set aboard a luxury vessel.
  • Adapted from Ruth Ware’s 2016 novel, the film is directed by Simon Stone from a screenplay by Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse.
  • The ending diverges from the book with a more cinematic, action‑forward final stretch, a focal point of post‑release coverage.
  • Stone has publicly discussed a modern, identity‑and‑surveillance angle that reframes the story without giving away plot specifics.
  • Reviews characterize a tight roughly 92‑minute thriller shot on an actual megayacht, praising Knightley and atmosphere while noting thin characterization and a conventional late climax.
