Average Film, Nothing Special

Rating: 6/10 (28 March 2018)

I felt compelled to write a quick review based on the number of glowing 10/10 reviews I'm seeing on here. Maybe everything is 10/10 now, and that's just the times we live in, but for me a 10 is a masterpiece of film, a seminal film. "I, Tonya" is nowhere close to that. I found it to be an enjoyable bit of nostalgia that was sadly a bit lacking in emotional impact.
I personally disliked the fake-documentary style of the film, and found that this had the opposite of it's intended effect: it took me out of the film and made it seem more fake. It reminded me I was watching a film recreation of actual events, instead of being able to just enjoy the story for what it was.
About 3/4 way through the film I started to lose interest. I knew where it was going to go and there were no surprises. If you are interested in the Tonya Harding story and pine for some 90's nostalgia (which I thought could have been emphasized more), then I would recommend this film to you, but sorry folks, "I, Tonya" is not the second coming of "The Godfather."
