Tonya stole my heart. She wanted to be loved, but got beaten up by everybody, including the media. Best TRUE story I have seen in years. Magnificent!

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2018)

What an incredible true story! Really amazing. For those unknown with the history of Tonay Harding: she was accused of hiring a hitman to crush the knees of her competitor at the olympics for ice skating.
Excellent performance by all the actors involved. I mean really EVERYBODY acts amazingly hilarious, but they do it so seriously that they really seem true to life. It is without a doubt the best performance by Margot Robbie of her entire carreer, playing a white trash redneck girl who gets beaten up by her mom, then gets beaten up by her husband, then gets beaten up by the media and justice for having dumb than dumber friends who ruined everything she loved: ice skating.
This movies trailer is way more aggresive than the actual movie. The trailer of "I, Tonya" almost depicts her as a loudmouthed b*tch, who will kill to achieve succes. But the actual movie is much more nuanced and really endearing and supportive of Tonya in the end. In essence the story is all about a little girl wanting to be loved. And the only love she ever had was ice skating. That was what her mother forced her to do, cussing at this little innocent kid, hitting this little young kid with only one goal: to achieve succes in ice skating. That is just heartbreaking to see.
Yes despite all the heartbreaking misery it is still a great comedy. The truly magnificent acting by all the actors, but especially by Margot Robbie, makes this tragic comedy become way more powerful than I expected it to be . Very pleasantly surprised by it. Touched me on a level few comedies ever have achieved before. Very impressed. Started googling interviews with the real Tonya Harding on youtube afterwards.What an incredible true story...
