CRITICAL RECEPTION
David Rooney for The Hollywood Reporter writes that the film is "blandly glossy" but says it is a "capably acted adaptation." Courtney Howard of Variety stated, "Similar to its book-to-film predecessors The Girl on the Train and The Woman in the Window, The Woman in Cabin 10 also features a gaslit woman who's forced to solve a mystery on her own after witnessing a suspicious incident. And much like the aforementioned beach-reads-turned-Hollywood-thrillers, director-co-writer Simon Stone's adaptation for Netflix also suffers from major missteps by the mid-point, causing any tension to dissipate long before the already-brief run time is up. Still, 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." Lisa Kennedy of The New York Times added, "The thriller The Woman in Cabin 10 — based on the novel by Ruth Ware and directed by Simon Stone — isn't a simple whodunit. There's a great deal afoot once Blacklock, a well-regarded but burned-out reporter, embarks on a feature about an invitation-only cruise to Norway."
