'The Woman in Cabin 10' is a thriller film directed by Maggie Betts, based on the novel by Ruth Ware. The movie follows Keira Knightley's character, a journalist named Lo Blacklock, who experiences a disturbing incident while on a luxury cruise. After witnessing what she believes to be a woman being thrown overboard, Lo becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth, despite the skepticism of those around her. The film explores themes of isolation, paranoia, and the difficulties of being believed, especially for a woman in a male-dominated industry. Knightley's performance has been praised for its intensity and vulnerability, as she navigates the murky waters of the investigation. While the film has been criticized for its pacing and some plot inconsistencies, it is generally seen as a solid adaptation that captures the essence of the original novel. The overall tone of the movie is tense and atmospheric, with the claustrophobic setting of the yacht adding to the sense of unease.
