I, Tonya ***
I, Tonya tells the true life story of the American Ice Skating
champion Tonya Harding, her raise to fame and her downfall.
The film is really, proudly and unapologetically true grit story
telling. Tonya Harding (Margot Robbie) is a product of her environment and that
environment is toxic because of the hard hitting, abusive, chain smoking, drinking
Mother (Allison Janney) who’ll stop at nothing to push her daughter into
becoming a ice skating champion.

The performances are really career bests from the lead
Margot Robbie who lives and breathes her part moving through various moods, emotions,
hardships, confusions, time lines and issues handling all this with ease captivating a world of
emotion through her face as if it was a second language.

The film provides great retelling of a event of 90s that most
of the new generation would have totally been oblivious to and gives traumatic
and very often comedic insight into a story that’s hard to believe but that’s
what makes it great entertainment.

Hard hitting story, acting and directing produce a loyal
account to crazy real life event worth witnessing to believe, with Robbie proving
she’s a leading actress on the road to greatness.
