Review of I, Tonya (2017) by Kaustav — 28 Jan 2018
It is a good semi-biopic. Not excellent to store away in your Hard Drive but not bad enough to diss in your next **** post. If nothing else, I applaud Margot Robbie's performance. it should gotten an Oscar nomination, despite all the other great actors in there.
The movie is the weird mix of changing camera shots, documentary style shots and fourth wall breaks that brings alive a portrayal why a woman like Tonya Harding turned out. The story of her life being one of cruelty, abuse and misguided emotions is a right proper tragedy and there is darkly humorous about how that is shown - which was necessary to keep the focus on the character herself rather than the abuse. It tells of Harding as a violent woman, a stupid woman, a simple woman, an innocent woman, an accomplice woman, an unfulfilled woman, a problematic woman whose life is the indictment of the American way of life. The movie wants you to know that is it giving the truth. I suggest you take out two hours of your time and find out if you are in agreement with that. And on the off chance you aren't, it is still a good movie to put on your checklist.
