Some of the best performances of the year!

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 2018)

I, Tonya (2017) is a film about the true story of Tonya Harding, the former Olympic ice skater. I didn't know much about this, I mean I was born in 1999, so it was interesting to see this and learn all about it. The awards show season is really what lead me to watching this film. I can for sure say that the awards are well deserved. Probably the best thing this film has going for it is the acting. Margot Robbie, Allison Janney, and Sebastian Stan all turn in great performances. Robbie is such a talented actress and she really does a great job at embodying Tonya Harding. But really the actor that shines the brightest is definitely Janney, she plays the b**ch mother and she plays it very well. I mean it's truly one of the best performances I've ever seen. The script tells us so much about these unfortunate characters. Every aspect of the film is put together is a way that just works. Yes, it's dark, and that is because of the characters and what all they go through, but there is some comedy sprinkled in there, dark comedy that is. But it's not awkward or weird, it works. 9/10 for I, Tonya.
