Fun movie. A lot more entertaining than what you would think a figure skating movie to be. Margot Robbie was great and Allison Janney was fantastic. I really enjoyed the music. I thought every time they break the fourth wall was a smart way to deal with conflicting point of views from the real life people and they were funny.

Nobody cared about figure skating before or after Tonya left...period...name a current skater... Don't worry I'll wait...yeah shuddup

honestly, Tonya really did nothing wrong.

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

This movie was fantastic in exposing the hard life Tonya Harding endured. I was worried it would be more of a satire making fun of Tonya, but it made dun of the situation and the ironic hypocrisy in figure skating. I never liked Nancy Kerrigan and always felt Tonya got a raw deal.

I've attempted to write a review of this film 3 times, but each time I was too afraid I wasn't being original enough, or I wasn't saying anything new. That's when I realized the essential message of this film is there is an assumption on our societal figures, and our role models to be perfect, and they often crush under the pressure while we laugh. I don't really know what to say but what I can tell you is Margot Robbie's performance, and Tonya's triple axel says it all, you don't really need to fit into the norms to do something great, which is exactly what this film does. It creates a unique sense of an "I don't give a flying fuck about your sensibilities" style, while balancing unique and dark humour, with emotion for a woman who tried to send death threats to her friend. This is simply put, the Triple Axel of 2017 films.

Some excellent performances, in a movie that smartly makes light of the whole situation. It's interesting to see all sides of the story, and it helps build a better understanding of what actually happened and what kind of people these are. I was entertained.

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.

This was cracking entertainment. Wickedly sharp and funny. I love movies where you can't really trust what any of the protagonists tell you, leaving you to peace together the truth for yourself. This was that.
