Review of I, Tonya (2017) by Norm D — 10 Apr 2018
Wasn't sure this would be of much interest - but the docu-styling of the drama, and the performances, esp'ly a seriously deglam'ed Robbie, make this nearly a tour-de-force, including even the VFX folks who allowed Margot to do a triple axel quite believably.
And the backstory story is intriguing, too. Poor Tonya. After her dad got the heave-ho she seemed never really to have had a chance to be other than the C word having absorbed so much abuse. Give credit to her redemptive skate coach (played well by J.
Nicholson) for hangin-in as much as she could. And what about those doofus boobs Harding seemed to attract and hang with ...?! Congrats to Robbie for seeing the potential in playing against (her) type for this.
