I wanted to keep the complexity of the female experience in the film as much as it is in the book, and the subject of not wanting a child is a very interesting subject, one that's not dealt with very much actually.However that complexity was not serving the story of what became the film [The Girl on the Train].

All propaganda or popularization involves a putting of the complex into the simple, but such a move is instantly deconstructive.

Terry Eagleton
