"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.
Vosnia
Ben and Lize, two former high school-sweethearts in their mid-twenties, encounter each other again in the parking lot of their old high school, while a reunion-party is going on inside the building. After some awkward catching up, they come to the realization that they have become complete opposites in more ways than ever before.: While Ben continues to live a rebellious existence as an artist, without concern for structure or long-term plans. Lize has transformed into an overworked yuppie, who is currently expecting her first child. At this moment, it seems that the only thing they have in common is that they don't really feel like attending this reunion. High school reunions tend to be dreadful occasions where people only come to boast about their apparent success in life. Why did Ben and Lize even bother showing up in the first place? Perhaps deep down, they hoped to find something here that they couldn't find elsewhere.
