Review of I, Tonya (2017) by Ryan L — 14 Jan 2018
Paraphrasing another critic, I,Tonya was like "Goodfellas with Ice Skating". I loved the breaking of the fourth wall and the narrating by the characters. This movie succeded as a dark comedy.
They took a real life tragedy and showed multiple view points of the events which made the audience: laugh, cringe and wonder. It was very well acted by Margot Robbie, Sebastian Stan and Allison Janney.
The movie offered a look into Tonya's past so that viewers saw her violent upbringing and abusive marriage. I'm not sure if this was supposed to bring sympathy to Harding or to just give an accurate interpretation of Harding's life (essentially I'm not sure how much is true vs.
how much was dramatized for the film). I also liked the message the film concluded with about how Americans need someone to "hate" and to "laugh" at. Great film from 2017!
