[EX Q]: While “On Chesil Beach” deviated from the source material in effective ways  Mr McEwan seemed reluctant to do the same with “The Children Act”. Here  the internal narrative is simply layered onto a new medium. It doesn’t work (although Emma Thompson’s performance makes it watchable).  Fiona Maye (Ms Thompson)  is a well-respected judge  arrives at home to  her  husband Jack (Stanley Tucci) telling  her  that he would like to have an affair  and that Fiona  if  she  cares about him  will tolerate it. This leads to the film’s single flashback: as  she  lays awake at night   her  imagination reaches back to happier times and to a moment of pure joy when he surprised  her  with a new piano. Unlike in “On Chesil Beach”  the flashback here adds little to illuminate their predicament: the viewer is still left guessing as to how  she  ended up married to an American professor  or what their love was like at its peak.
The marriage crisis exacerbates another one  this time in  Fiona ’s working life.  She  specialises in extraordinarily hard cases involving children  often with a religious element.  Her  newest case is an urgent one: Adam  a 17-year-old Jehovah’s Witness with leukaemia  is refusing a blood transfusion that could save his life.  Fiona  must decide his corporeal and perhaps spiritual fate.  She  has been able to dispassionately dispatch such cases in the past  but since  her  husband’s disruption of their marriage   her  confidence is faltering.
 Her  interest in the boy then  so steadfast in his own faith  is both professional and personal.  Fiona  takes the unusual step of visiting him in the hospital  and under Richard Eyre’s thoughtful direction  the camera offers extreme close-ups of both characters  allowing the audience to search their eyes for meaning.  Fiona  is looking for cracks in Adam’s guarded wall of faith. The viewer is looking for the real motive behind  hers .
Unfortunately  it never quite appears.  Her  judicial ruling comes suddenly  ending its fascinating inquiry into the nature of faith and connection before it has even begun. Adam lives but becomes disillusioned with his faith and begins stalking Fiona  trading one obsession for another. Mr Eyre seems to be looking for some of the same notes that worked so well for him in “Notes of a Scandal” (2006)  but this is not a lurid tale  and efforts to make it one—with wistful glances and tense  longing strings on the soundtrack—seem out of place. For this conflict to have dramatic heft  the viewer needs to understand  Fiona  better.
Perhaps a screenwriter with more distance from the original material would have been willing to radically reshape the novel  offering more backstory or drawing  her  decision out for dramatic impact to make the story less reliant on  her  inner life. “On Chesil Beach” did not call for such revisions  but “The Children Act” does. It shows that every adaptation is a unique case  even two self-adapted novels from the same hand. Some cannot simply be transposed onto the screen. Most of all  however  it shows that the writer who knows the material best is not always the one best placed to make the hard choices that can turn a great novel into a great film.

[EX Q]: Rex Tillerson could be on  his  way to serving one of the shortest tenures of any Secretary of State in U.S. history.
âThere are no personnel announcements at this time â White House spokesman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. â Secretary Tillerson  continues to lead the State Department and the entire cabinet is focused on completing this incredibly successful first year of President Trumpâs administration.â
âHeâs here.  Rex  is here â he said.
If  Tillerson  leaves in the next few months   he  would likely be viewed as one of the most underperforming secretaries of State in U.S. history with one of the shortest tenures to boot  say experts on American foreign policy.
âIt will ratify what is emerging as almost a consensus view that  Rex Tillerson  was the worst Secretary of State in modern time â said Paul Musgrave  a political science professor at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst who studies American foreign policy. âI actually think there is a good case to be made  ever.â
If  Tillerson  leaves in the next few weeks   he  will have served for roughly a year  inordinately short for a first-term Secretary of State in the modern era. The last three first-term secretaries of State â Warren Christopher  Colin Powell and Hillary Clinton â all remained in their posts for the entire term.
Aside from his short time in office   Tillerson  has little to show as accomplishments.

Mike Penceâs chief of staff  Nick Ayers  on Tuesday pushed wealthy donors to unite against Republicans in Congress who oppose Donald Trumpâs agenda  advising them to âpurgeâ the small contingent of GOP leaders impeding the implementation of the presidentâs campaign promises.
According to an audio recording of the event obtained by Politico   Ayers  departed from Mike Penceâs generally conciliatory public tone at a closed-door Republican National Committee event at the St. Regis Hotel in Washington  and urged a more aggressive funding strategy.
âJust imagine the possibilities of what can happen if our entire party unifies behind him?â  Ayers  told donors. âIf â and this sounds crass â we can purge the handful of people who continue to work to defeat him.â
 Ayers  warned donors that unless they pull funding from anti-Trump Republican leaders and threaten to recruit primary candidates to challenge them  the Republican party will be âon track to get shellackedâ in the 2018 midterm elections. While  Ayers  was pessimistic about the GOPâs ability to pass comprehensive tax reform  he maintained that going into the elections without having passed at least one major legislative goal would be a âsuicide mission.â
