I, Tonya


Based on unbelievable but true events, I, Tonya is the darkly comedic tale of American figure skater Tonya Harding and one of the most sensational scandals in sports history. Though Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, her legacy has forever been defined by her association with an infamous, ill-conceived and worse-executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan. Featuring an iconic turn by Margot Robbie as the fiery Harding, a mustachioed Sebastian Stan as her impetuous ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, and a tour-de-force performance from Allison Janney as her acid-tongued mother LaVona Golden, and an original screenplay by Steven Rogers, Craig Gillespie’s I, Tonya is an absurd, irreverent, and piercing portrayal of Harding’s life and career in all of its unchecked––and checkered––glory.

This movie was excellent.  The acting was top notch across the board.  They way that they had the story play out/explained was top notch.  The filming style and use of comedy was by far the best part of all.  I never would have thought that I would have laughed so hard at this movie.  They might as well give Allison Janney the Best Supporting Actress oscar now.  She was amazing.  

I would absolutely recommend people checking this movie out.  It is an incredibly enjoyable movie and a lock for my Top 10 movies of the year list.
