Red Neck U.S.A. Heaven

Rating: 8/10 (25 January 2018)

Extraordinary story- no spoilers it would ruin the movie but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Australian actress Margot Robbie who gives a superb performance as Tonia Harding and Alison Janney as her mother ( she makes Medea look warm and fuzzy) take out a double actress Oscar victory.
With the current mood in Hollywood and their excellent performances both women excel.
I knew noting really about Tonia's story and though I'd enjoy the ice skating but this film is much more than it appears. I liked it's almost documentary style exposing red neck American "culture "and domestic and criminal violence both male and female perpetrated by husband and mother .
A must see movie but don't expect The Nutcracker or Sleeping Beauty on ice.
