I, Tonya

Great movie. Allison Janney is just effortlessly brilliant in every single scene.

This movie is fucking disturbing. What's sadder than an abused girl who gets beaten and framed by 2 psychos who ruin her career? Exactly the same thing with 70s music

I never heard of **Tonya Harding** and "the incident" before this movie was promoted and of course I immediately had to look things up after I did. It's a fascinating story and I'm sure, if something like this happened nowadays, it would generate the same scandal and amount of media circus as it did 23 years ago (if not more because of the internet).
But "the incident" isn't the focus in this movie, it's just in there as part of Tonya's (**Margot Robbie**) ride up and down her athletic career. The more important parts are the tumultuous and abusive relationships she had with her mother (**Allison Janney**) and her ex-husband (**Sebastian Stan**) that are hard to watch - as they should be.

Figuring out how old the characters are at times was a bit confusing, but the acting throughout is fabulous (shoutout to the young Tonya, **Mckenna Grace**)! There aren't many movies where I can truly see past a well-known face of an actor, but it happenend with I, Tonya. I also enjoyed the camera work, soundtrack, breaking of the fourth wall and the little montage of real footage in the end.

honestly, Tonya really did nothing wrong.

From presentation, to music to performance, excellent movie.

_I, Tonya_ is a fun and interesting biopic. Margot Robbie is fantastic in almost every role she does, and that is no different here. I absolutely loved her as Tonya, although there were a few times her Harley Quinn voice snuck in there but it worked. Julianne Nicholson was great as Tonya's mom, she had this cold a gruel demeanor that was very sharp and funny. Sebastian Stan is excellent, the raw anger and emotion he demonstrated was captivating. For a supposed comedy biopic I did not laugh all that much, but that is 100% okay with me as the tone was light enough to have an amazing time with this film. Music choice was excellent throughout.

**Score:** _90%_
**Verdict:** _Excellent_

Really good movie with brilliant performances!

A thoroughly _real_ story (fitting, since it's based on true events) filled with bleak, dark humour that would leave you feeling for Tonya Harding. Margot Robbie portrays the disgraced and misunderstood character in all her unapologetic brilliance and HOW. So entertaining, so witty, and so, so real.

Great biopic alternates from comedy to drama. The theme might be when you come from this background, it is very hard to escape....even if you have a superpower...and she did. You could also say it is that your ambition may outdistance your grasp. It's a cautionary tale that literally was inevitable. A movie you will find yourself thinking about days later.
