I wanted to love it because it seems like everyone does...

Rating: 5/10 (27 October 2018)

I went into watching this film with exceptionally high expectations given the hype (ie. Oscar nominations and wins).
Is it entertaining? Yes. Is it worth all the hype? Sadly no.
Like many reviewers here I found this movie tonally confusing. At one point it's a serious view of domestic violence, the next it's like an episode of the Three Stooges. Also I was waiting for some kind of emotional payoff that never came.
Sure Allison Janney was fantastic in the 10-20 mins of screen time total she got. But I can't help but be disappointed at how under utilised she was.
Margot Robbie was fine playing a redneck figure skater, she just wasn't Tonya Harding.
(By the way whoever did the CGI on Robbie's face during the ice skating scenes needs to be fired. So obvious it distracts the viewer).
