Movie review: I, Tonya with Margot Robbie and Allison Janney

This movie is based on the life of American figure skater Tonya Harding. She was a central figure (pun intended) in one of the most sensational scandals in sports history. I mean, in the 90s, you had OJ and Harding. That was the top two of the decade right there.

This movie is told through interviews with the other figures (there he goes again). Harding's biggest achievement was being the first American woman to complete a triple axel in a competition but she is mostly known for her role in Nancy Kerrigan getting hit in the leg with a pipe or something. 

This is a great movie. It will make you sympathetic to what Harding went through and overcame to become an Olympian. Go see it immediately. Allison Janney won an Oscar for playing the mom so you have that to look forward to.

This movie will appeal to you if:

1. You want to relive the whole media spectacle
2. A good biopic will make your day
3. You like a good sports movie 

This movie will not appeal to you if:

1. You don't like Tonya Harding and want nothing to do with her
2. You are just sick of this and want it to go away
3. You think that Harding was in on it and the movie is a lie

Here is another review.
