What a story

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2018)

I have to admit, I was not familiar with the story of Tonya Harding. It might even be a good thing since the events of the story seem even more unbelievable and have a bigger impact. All the characters are a bit crazy but still very interesting in their own way. And you really feel for Tonya Harding since after all, she only wanted to skate and be successful. She achieved success but had to overcome endless hurdles along the way proving that you should never give up on your dreams no matter the odds. Performances are great, especially from Allison Janney and Paul Walter Hauser who played Shawn and captured his delusional character with perfection. Another positve thing about I, Tonya is a really great soundtrack containing classic songs from the 70's and 80's.
Definitely recommended and you do not have to know anything about figure skating to enjoy this film since the story itself, characters, good performances and music will take care of that.
