"The Woman in Cabin 10" (2025) Should Have Stayed Faithful to the Book
I’m disappointed in The Woman in Cabin 10, but that’s at least in part because of my love of Ruth Ware’s novel.

“Before Dying I Prefer Death” is a documentary road movie about the bond between Malena and her father, El Poly (73), a musician exiled under the dictatorship. Marked by the disappearance of his brothers, El Poly carries grief that affects his daughters. Seeking to heal their relationship, they embark on one last trip in a yellow Chevy to fulfill El Poly’s wish: to find a home to live in.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.
'The Worst Person In The World' follows a part of life I don't see often portrayed on-screen: extended adolescence.
It only seems to prove that when the company had their backs against the wall and needed an all pleasing, generic movie that had to make up for The Last Jedi, they chose to sacrifice almost everything that made their main protagonist interesting and that made her stand out as the strong female character that a generation of young movie goers was supposed to look up to. Instead, we were left with a Rey that was so much less than she could have been. And I guess that’s the real story of Rey and The Rise of Skywalker; they could have been so much more, but they were just more of the same.
The trainwreck is hot but tame.
