On Netflix there is the most luscious thriller “The Woman in Cabin No. 10” starring Kira Knightley. It is obvious why this film is a perfect autumn movie for those who love detective stories and stories about strong women.
The film is based on the 2016 best-selling book by British writer Ruth Wear, one of the most popular contemporary authors of psychological detective stories and thrillers. Ruth Weir is 48 years old, she lives in the daylights of England on the shores of the sea and has the greatest right to the creation of gloomy, lost in history, in the center of which there are women who waste in trouble. situations associated with the killings. Ruth Weir became famous in 2015 after the release of the novel “In the Dark, Dark Forest,” which tells the story of a woman who attends a girl’s party for her childhood friend, about whom she has not heard of anything before. The evening will take place in an isolated glass hut in the forest, and there will be a lot of thirst… Today in the Veer bibliography – over 10 novels, movies and “The Girl in Cabin No. 10”, which increased to ten of the best-selling books of the British newspaper Sunday Times and The New York Times.

The main character of the film adaptation, which was released on Netflix, is journalist Laura Blacklock (Keira Knightley), who writes about roads for the magazine. Once in a while, he will take away the vanity of the world: spend a day on a new luxury liner, which will increase the price of the Norwegian fiords, and write a report about it, as well as about the owner of the yacht, the rich Richard Bulmer (Guy Pearce), and at the same time with her incredibly ill squad, Enni fell asleep in a charitable fund. On the yacht, Laura meets the crew and Bloomer's many guests, and everything looks perfect: luxurious cabins, social evenings, games flowing along the river. Until one night, Laura doesn’t feel the screams and doesn’t hear how she throws the woman off the water, who, as it seems to Laura, was procrastinating in cabin number 10. About the crew and the passengers are singing that there are no people in this cabin There was no one there.
To continue the film, Laura tries to sing of everyone that she effectively pumped, so that after throwing the woman into the water, the skin becomes more and more unreliable, and even everything hardens around, so She was imagining it. The situation is deteriorating and those that Laura has an addiction to alcohol, anxiety, has experienced depression, and she herself begins to doubt the one who was studying…
If you think that you’ve already met with a similar plot here, then you don’t: in fact, the story about the benefits of a journalist on a yacht resembles the plot of the book “A Girl in a Pull” by Pauley Hawkins, filmed in 2016 (with Emily Blunt in the lead role), and “A Woman at the Century” by E. J. Finn, (2021), where Amy Adams played the lead role. The plot of these detective stories develops in a similar manner: a woman who is getting more expensive (or is staying in a closed space) becomes a sign of murder, but is also an unreliable witness, because there may be psychological problems or problems with alcohol, well The reader’s main task is to understand and believe the evidence.
In addition to the already-revealed detective stories, “The Woman in Cabin Number 10” suggests “Death on the Nile” by Agatha Christie, and the writer Ruth Weir does not like that Agatha Christie is one of her favorite writers. there was endless tension. The film, directed by Simon Stone, makes good use of this almost Hitchcockian tension, which is enhanced by the fact that the heroes are in a closed space at the same time. The director worked on the script with both Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse, the screenwriters of the intense thriller “Rebecca” 2020, which became a remake of the Hitchcock film of the same name. Well, Stone himself admits that he was inhaling the paranoid thrillers of the 70s.
Without a doubt, the best thing about this film is Keira Knightley in the role of the smart, subtle Lauren. This game, writes Collider in its review, reinvents what could have been a straightforward story about “a woman in trouble,” but now it’s even worse. Keira Knightley is not a hysterical woman, but a reasonable and strong journalist; The actor imbues her heroine with a quiet, emotional intelligence. Oscar-winner Knightley masterfully demonstrates how her heroine begins to lose her sanity through gaslighting and those who are surrounded by toxic people who are deceiving her. I myself want to work on “The Woman in Cabin No. 10” with all my respect.
The film “The Woman in Cabin No. 10” can be watched on Netflix from 10 January.
