Worst cheater in Olympic history, or misunderstood ice-skating prodigy? "I, Tonya" gives Harding a chance to tell her side of a controversial, real-life incident.

Another story that proves the adage that truth is stranger than fiction - because a story this crazy couldn't have been made up. Margot Robbie and Alison Janney are at the top of their game, Robbie as Tonya Harding, the girl from the wrong side of the tracks who rocked the world of figure skating (before the infamous incident) and Janney as her merciless, remorseless mother LaVona. Sebastian Stan is excellent as well as Tonya's violent boyfriend/husband Jeff Gillooly. I also have to single out Paul Walter Hauser, who plays Shawn Eckhardt, bodyguard and cunning sloth. I remember this playing out and the media frenzy - it's nice to see a more in-depth look into the real story.

A very compelling story, well-told, but it's a little hard to watch real people played as broad caricatures.

A brutally funny biographical movie that combines two types of stories that America cannot get enough of: crime and sports. Margot Robbie leads a top notch cast in a performance which personally I found more deserving of the most recent Academy Awards ceremony. Allison Janney is downright terrifying as the relentlessly hateful and spiteful mother of Tonya Harding. The movie effortlessly bounces back and forth between timelines and different points of view w/o losing steam.

I really like this film! Margot Robbie had a brilliant performance and Sebastian Stan will forever be one of my favorites.I also loved the fact that this film say something about what "truth" really is, that there's no such thing as truth, or that your own story is your own truth. Very watchable, I never skated before but it was really entertaining from start to finish.
