Margot Robbie gives the performance of her career in this captivating biopic of Tonya Harding

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2020)

If I, Tonya was a fiction most people would say that this could never happen in real life. The over the top family disfunction, the sheer incompetence and buffoonery of the Nancy Kerrigan incident can only happen in the movies. But the funny thing is that all of this cartoonish characters and events were actually based on real life. After watching the film I kind of felt pity for Tonya Haring. From Harding's abusive mother, played brilliantly by Allison Janney, to her abusive and somewhat dimwitted husband and his equally dimwitted friend, the people that populated her life were all lowlifes. Speaking of Harding, the heartbreaking, comical, and electrifying performance by Margot Robbie was jaw-dropping. Hands down the best performance of her young career. From the exciting skating scenes, to the funny, quirky, and sad story, and the can not take your eyes off of her performance by Robbie; I, Tonya is a winner and gets a perfect score from this judge.
