Review of I, Tonya (2017) by Netflic — 08 Jan 2018
This movie is a sports bio-pic about Tonya Harding, once best American figure skater. The movie is made as a series of interviews with Tonya, her mom, her ex-husband and other personalities in Tonya's life. This pseudo-documentary style provides an interesting aspect on the story that was wildly known all over the world in 1994.
My expectations of sports bio-pics are usually not very high, but I got much more than I was hoping for. Creators of the film managed to produce a drama that borders with farce, a difficult and fragile mix. Plenty of sour humor, raw language and sarcasm. Talented team of actors made it possible to recreate Tonya's ascend to fame and swift fall out of it. I was highly impressed by Margot Robbie who played Tonya, and especially Allison Janney who played Tony'a abusive mom and just won a Golden Globe for her supporting role. She was fantastic!
In short, this movie is one of the best of 2017, in my opinion.
