IndieWireKate ErblandOct 10, 2025
It might seem a bit showy and cheesy in its final moments, but that kind of over-the-top shock is missing from most of the rest of the film. It’s a thriller missing the thrills, and we’ll take them where we can get them. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliOct 14, 2025
There’s enough suspense to keep an itchy trigger finger from changing the channel but viewers hoping for more won’t find it here. Read full review

LooperAlistair RyderOct 10, 2025
It speeds through the plot beats so fast, in fact, that it never properly allows you to take part in the murder mystery guessing game for yourself, barely developing its characters beyond the one note they're introduced on, so the question of a motive becomes an irrelevance to anybody watching.

A body isn’t the only thing that goes overboard here. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyOct 10, 2025
Australian theater and film director Simon Stone’s blandly glossy, capably acted adaptation, co-written with Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse, is mostly a pedestrian affair that waits until the denouement to crank up the suspense and show some teeth. Read full review

VarietyCourtney HowardOct 10, 2025
The sleek production design, symphonic score and performances from a killer ensemble act as a life preserver, making the shenanigans at sea a little less choppy. Read full review

Next Best PictureSara ClementsOct 10, 2025
Despite its flaws, the cast, while underused, is a powerhouse, especially Knightley, who remains magnetic. It’s just that “The Woman in Cabin 10” never manages to transcend its setup. Read full review

Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonOct 10, 2025
This critic is a sucker for Ms. Knightley, so please disregard anything here that sounds remotely positive. Because 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. Read full review

Radio TimesTerry StauntonOct 10, 2025
The pity is that one look at the cast list promises riches that never surface; these are hugely talented actors feeding on the scraps of a solid premise made stagnant by the screenplay’s myriad shortcomings. Read full review

The IndependentClarisse LoughreyOct 10, 2025
Netflix’s The Woman in Cabin 10 is Agatha Christie for the age of mindless scrolling. It’s a murder mystery that only works if you’re not really paying attention, and are happy in the fact the characters on screen aren’t really either. Read full review

The Daily BeastNick SchagerOct 10, 2025
A thriller in name only, it has all the grace and cunning of an anvil to the head. Read full review

The GuardianPeter BradshawOct 10, 2025
It sounds fun on the face of it, and the sheer silliness of the situation almost keeps it afloat, but the cardboard quality of the drama gets soggy. Read full review
