Based on unbelievable but true events, I, Tonya is the darkly comedic tale of American figure skater Tonya Harding and one of the most sensational scandals in sports history. Though Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, her legacy has forever been defined by her association with an infamous, ill-conceived and worse-executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan.

Steve Persall | Jan 4, 2018
"Craig Gillespie’s hysterically accurate biopic I, Tonya sets up the punchline she became. Harding’s spiteful rise and spectacular fall would make fine comedy even if they weren’t true. I, Tonya scores on higher degrees of difficulty, making these tabloid antics relatable and strangely sympathetic. " ... Read full review

"Craig Gillespie’s take on Tonya’s story, the hilarious and gut-punching I, Tonya, is a nearly pitch-perfect black comedy that distills the sensational story into two potent insights very relevant to 2017. It’s a movie about class, and it’s a movie about the nature of truth. And somehow it’s also a supremely entertaining sports movie." ... Read full review

"Perhaps most interestingly, Gillespie's film is also in its own way, about all of us and our fascination with the Harding saga to begin with, boldly holding up a mirror for us to gaze into. What we see isn't exactly comforting. It might not even be correct. But it is certainly something to ponder." ... Read full review

James Berardinelli | Dec 7, 2017
"I, Tonya holds our interest by exposing the falseness and commercialism of Olympic-level skating competitions and illustrating how the perseverance shown by Tonya is perceived not as an asset but a character flaw. The film’s strength is that it does more than simply make us laugh." ... Read full review

The New Yorker
Richard Brody | Dec 8, 2017
"Gillespie stages his empathy for Tonya at arm’s length; he fails to respond to her experience in a direct, personal way. The result is a film that’s as derisive and dismissive toward Tonya Harding as it shows the world at large to have been." ... Read full review

Handily one of the year's best, with its snarly dark humor and superb performances across the board, especially Margot Robbie and AllisonHandily one of the year's best, with its snarly dark humor and superb performances across the board, especially Margot Robbie and Allison Janney in award-worthy performances. With a kick-ass soundtrack, impeccable editing, excellent writing and a spot-on monologue format, the film carries the day in virtually every regard. To be sure, sensitive viewers may be offended by some of the language and violence, but both are properly balanced and in context. If you like your comedies with an edge, rush to see this one.… Expand

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.… Expand

I had little interest in the Harding/Kerrigan incident when it actually occurred, and so I was surprised that I genuinely enjoyed this movieI had little interest in the Harding/Kerrigan incident when it actually occurred, and so I was surprised that I genuinely enjoyed this movie and was motivated by it subsequently to watch online a recent ABC documentary about the affair. The movie is compelling, to some extent, the way a train wreck is: so many of the principals in the drama--including Tonya herself--were dysfunctional, low-rent ne'er-do-wells living lives of chaotic desperation and inflicting their pathologies on each other like the norovirus. All of the actors do a remarkable job of bringing to the screen the real-life qualities of their characters, although the young woman playing Tonya arguably is a bit too classically beautiful to be mistaken for Tonya, who, on a good day, might be charitably described as "cute." The people tasked with creating the ice skating scenes did an extraordinary job with their special effects. It is a relief, at the end of the film, to learn that most of the loony tunes who had sullied Olympic history ultimately grew up and achieved some stability and productivity later in life, although the obese possuer who had appointed himself Tonya's bodyguard croaked at the age of 40.… Expand

Up to today I was all for Holly Hunter to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in “The Big Sick” but now, hands down, Allison Janney ownsUp to today I was all for Holly Hunter to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in “The Big Sick” but now, hands down, Allison Janney owns it for her mean mother of all mothers in “I, Tonya”.

“I, Tonya” could have been an excellent movie but there are too many brutal shots of first Tonya Harding being abused physically and mentally by her mother and then too many of her husband physically abusing her. Two to three scenes would have gotten the message across but director Craig Gillespie and screenwriter Steven Rogers not only have too many abusive scenes but spend too much time on a lot of scenes.

The movie is told from 4 different points of view and one is not sure who is telling the truth or lying. Though the main story revolves around Tonya Harding’s (Margot Robbie) training from the age of 3 to be an ice skater and then how much involved she was with the kneecapping of her competitor, Nancy Kerrigan, to what made her become—to quote Tonya—‘the most hated woman in the world’ we also hear from the others who were part of her life.

LaVona Golden (Allison Janney), as Tonya’s mother, is really a despicable woman who, for the right or wrong reasons, spent every penny she made to make her daughter a star. LaVonna defends herself as trying to make her daughter tough and tries to warn her daughter against the man she will marry.

Jeff Gillooly (Sebastian Stan) as Tonya’s first boyfriend and then her husband and finally her ex has his own version of the story just as Shawn Eckhardt (Paul Walter Hauser) her bodyguard thinks he masterminded the whole, what has become known as ‘the incident’, thing and, yet, is as dumb as they come!

At the beginning we meet Al Harding (Jason Davis), Tonya’s father, who teaches her how to kill and skin rabbits setting up the first half of the film leading to ‘the incident’. He leaves shortly after and we don’t see him anymore.

The only one who seems ‘normal’, who cares for Tonya, is her skating coach, Diane Rawlinson (Julianne Nicholson) who knows the American skating world wants a princess, who dresses right, has the right kind of family, isn’t assertive off the court and is wholesome in every way which certainly doesn’t describe Tonya.

Whether it is the screenwriter, director or Margot Robbie, by the end of the film we see this vilified woman who was really punished more than anyone else involved, as someone who may not deserve what happened to her.

Oddly, among all this violence, all these mostly nasty, some dumb, really dumb people there are a lot of laughs and one doesn’t feel guilty while they are laughing but after the movie is over you wonder if these people, the mother, husband, bodyguard and Tonya are people you should laugh at or sympathize with.

“I, Tonya” has some fine acting, especially Margot Robbie in the title role, and Allison Janney as her mother, but you wonder if this woman, who had few moments of joy and success in her life, deserved to be stripped of everything including the one thing she excelled at and lived for, and if she was guilty as many people thought? And, oh, just to have 20 minutes cut from this version.… Expand

Goolge photo's of Nancy Kerrigan immediately after the 'ATTACK' masterminded by 'TONYA HARDING', they look anything BUT 'COMEDIC' and 'HILARIOUS'?
This movie should be boycotted.
Buying this movie is like buying 'The Joy Of Cooking' by Adolph Hitler.
