In general, critics focused on the problems of the plot, but the Jason Bailey edition journalist Jason Bailey rigidly passed on the acting game Ersela Elgort, who fulfilled the main role:
Speaking, it's right, I rushing, but he does not know how to play. In most of his films, it does not matter: it looks good in the role of a restless attractive guy in the paintings like "the stars" or "divergent". In the "baby on the drive" he was just a doll in the hands of a stylish director who realized how to make a person's likeness from him. Alas, John Crowley in "Schegle" did not come out. Elgort is completely not suitable for the role of Theodore Decker. Spectators say that this is the dashing seller of antiques with the dark past and skeletons in the closet, but the hero looks like a child from school statement, which lent points and a suit from his father in an unsuccessful attempt to look like an adult.
At the Metacritic "Schegol" Review aggregator received only 46 points, which is extremely low for a dramatic picture. After a couple of days, Russian viewers will be able to make their opinion about the film and decide how bad or good is the main character.
The premiere of "Schegla" will take place on September 12.
