Misfit

Rating: 4/10 (19 March 2018)

The movie itself was very well directed and acting was great as well, but the misfit between Margot Robbie and the real Tonya Harding was so obvious, that the movie just came out as a joke. I love Margot Robbie, she is an exceptional actress, but this role just didn't fit her at all and she actually made Tonya Harding look beautiful next to her. I don't know what the hell were they thinking hiring this sexy, mature and beautiful woman to play a teenager, they certainly didn't fool me, they made me laugh the whole movie, Margot looked older not only than the teenage Tonya, but herself as well, the real Tonya Harding had a certain innocence about her that no 30 year old actress can fake, I mean her face was out there 24/7 so we all know what she looked and acted like, so when Margot is hopping around as a 15 year old with braces, it kind of changes the mood of the movie into a comedy. It was such a disappointment because I liked Margot in other movies and I'm kind of turned of right now. I know there is a lot of great 16 year old actresses who could portray Tonya Harding more realistically, so why Margot? The acting just doesn't matter that much anymore if you misfit the look, the age, the character, the whole persona. Everybody else was great so I don't understand why did they have to ruin this movie this way. Tonya Harding carries the whole movie so why to make it so ridiculous, I still gave it 4 stars because everything else was spot on, acted well and directed well considering that the actual story could have made this movie cheap looking, but the director managed to give it a certain style, that deserved to be nominated.
